Over the last year, R.Power has signed contracts securing long-term revenues for over 1.5 GW of storage and generation capacity across Poland, Romania, Germany and Italy. 

Employing a strategy of revenue diversification across its portfolio, R.Power has secured capacity market auction wins, Contracts for Difference (CfDs), long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with blue-chip corporates and BESS optimisation deals with leading utilities. R.Power’s total contracted BESS and renewables capacity now exceeds 3 GW across six European markets.

R.Power’s commercialisation achievements from the past 12 months have included:

Contracts for 1 GW of BESS secured in the Polish capacity market auction - in which R.Power was one of the biggest winners

BESS optimisation deals signed, securing long-term revenues for R.Power’s flagship Jedwabno (150MW / 300MWh) and Scornicesti (127MW / 254 MWh) projects

Europe’s energy market is undergoing a significant transformation as demand for firm green power grows and flexibility deals rise in prominence. According to data from price intelligence platform Pexapark, 2025 was a record-breaking year for flexibility in Europe, with nearly 12 GW/23 GWh of BESS capacity contracted under flexibility and optimisation deals – three times the 2024 total.

R.Power’s strategic goal is to build out its BESS asset base to structurally balance its significant existing solar PV portfolio, pioneering Europe’s path to firm clean power. Recent optimisation contracts for its Polish Jedwabno (150 MW/300 MWh) and Romanian Scornicesti (127 MW/254 MWh) BESS projects have provided significant impetus in meeting this objective.

“The range of contracts we have secured over the past 12 months, whether bilateral offtake and optimisation deals, capacity auction wins or CfDs highlight a rapidly evolving market where diverse revenue strategies are essential” said Rafał Hajduk, Chief Commercial Officer at R.Power. “These contracts are also testament to the market-leading capabilities of our commercial team working across some of Europe’s most sophisticated energy markets, the trust we have built with leading corporate and utility offtakers, and, above all, the quality of our 10+GW pipeline of grid-secured, utility-scale BESS and renewables projects. These deals are laying the foundation for our ongoing growth as a pan-European Independent Power Producer and a leading player in firm and flexible green power.”
