Networking Roundtables

Poland has delivered record solar capacity, but speed has created new structural pressures. Grid queues, compressing capture rates, and a regulatory framework struggling to keep pace are reshaping the investment case. This roundtable examines the realities of developing, financing, and operating solar and storage in Poland right now — and what the next three years actually look like.

  • How grid queue reality differs from headline reform — where usable capacity exists and where it does not
  • Auction framework evolution and what the next procurement cycle means for project pipelines
  • Whether Poland’s merchant-heavy market structure remains viable as solar penetration rises
  • What co-located storage is actually delivering in revenue and grid compliance terms
  • Key considerations for international investors and IPPs evaluating or scaling their Polish exposure
Panel discussion

  • Power demand growth by geography, with focus on industrial zones, data centres, manufacturing, and electrification hubs
  • Live signals on permitting timelines by market, based on projects that reached construction
  • Grid queue reality checks – which TSOs and DSOs have usable capacity versus headline reform?
  • How investors weigh land availability against grid strength across the region
  • The real scale of co-location. Where solar plus storage improves connection outcomes and revenues
