The Magazyn Energii Jedwabno (Jedwabno) 150 MW/300 MWh BESS scheme is being developed in Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship and will be among the largest projects of its kind in Poland upon completion. Construction of the project has already started.

Under the terms of the deal, Axpo shall be responsible for optimising the operation of the BESS facility.

The optimisation agreement is the next step in cooperation between R.Power and Axpo in the Polish energy market, based on a medium-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed between the partners back in 2021, covering approximately 300 MW of solar PV capacity.

“I’m delighted to be extending our cooperation with R.Power into a new area, namely the optimisation of energy storage facilities” said Axpo Polska Managing Director Mateusz Marczewski. “A key aspect of this project was to design a contract aligned with dynamically evolving operational and regulatory standards. This will ensure that the installation can participate efficiently in the market and provide balancing services. Thanks to our experience, we were able to propose a complex solution tailored to the investor’s specific needs, meeting all necessary requirements for bankability as well as R.Power’s internal procedures.”
