Statkraft takes tolling rights on 400 MW of Polish BESS

Statkraft has secured tolling rights on two 200 MW, four-hour battery projects developed by Greenvolt in Poland. The ten-year agreement gives Statkraft dispatch control over 400 MW and 1,600 MWh of storage capacity. No financial terms were disclosed, per Renews.biz.

Poland is accelerating battery procurement as it works to integrate rising renewable capacity and reduce dependence on coal-backed balancing. A long-duration tolling structure of this size signals growing confidence among Norwegian and Portuguese developers in Polish market revenues.

In Italy, ZE Energy bought Aura Power's 200 MW Troia project in the southern zone. The deal, also reported by Renews.biz, adds to a string of utility-scale BESS transactions closing across Europe this week, with buyers acquiring late-stage development assets rather than waiting to build.
