Energy storage is gaining importance – from Bulgaria to Krosno
Bulgaria is becoming a global leader in the development of energy storage, while in Poland more cities, such as Krosno, are investing in their own electricity storage installations.
Energy storage is becoming an increasingly important element of power systems around the world. Bulgaria, as analyses indicate, is emerging as one of the global leaders in the development of this technology, which is significant for the stability of its energy market.
Poland is also investing in storage
A similar direction can be seen in Poland – the municipal company MPGK in Krosno is planning to build an energy storage facility next to the existing RCO site. It is an example of how local authorities and municipal companies are beginning to recognise the potential of energy storage in the day-to-day management of urban infrastructure.
- Bulgaria is developing as a leader in energy storage
- MPGK Krosno is planning to build an energy storage facility at RCO Białobrzeska
- Energy storage supports the stability of local and national power systems
Energy storage makes it possible to better match renewable energy generation to actual demand, which is particularly important given the growing share of variable sources such as solar and wind.
A growing global trend
Both the Bulgarian example and local investments in Poland show that energy storage is ceasing to be a niche technology and is becoming a standard element of energy planning – at both national and municipal level.
For NRG+, this direction confirms the growing importance of energy storage as a complement to photovoltaic farms, and is consistent with the company's business profile, which covers the development of PV and energy storage projects on leased land.
