Grid connection for energy storage — conditions and timelines

Short answer

The deadline for issuing connection conditions for a storage system is 120 days for MV connections and 150 days for HV, counted from a complete application. For capacity above 5 MW, a deposit of PLN 30 per kW of connection capacity is required.

  • Application for connection conditions — 120–210 days depending on voltage level
  • Grid impact study required for capacity above 2 MW
  • Hybrid installation — shared connection point for PV/wind and storage

The formal path step by step

  • Application for connection conditions together with proof of legal title to the site
  • Deposit of PLN 30/kW for capacity above 5 MW (credited against the connection fee)
  • Grid impact study for capacity above 2 MW
  • Connection conditions — valid for 2 years
  • Connection agreement and implementation schedule on the distribution system operator (DSO) side

Adding storage to an existing installation

Adding storage to a PV or wind farm requires amending the connection conditions to a hybrid installation. If the storage system does not increase the power fed into the grid, the procedure is usually faster and concludes with an annex to the agreement.
