China's leading new energy technology company BYD has announced its first energy storage project in Poland recently went into operation in a partnership with ML System S.A., a pioneering firm in Poland's solar energy sector.

The newly-launched project will be combined with a 1MW solar power plant also produced and sold by BYD, enabling peak shaving and create a more balanced power network, BYD said.

At present, Poland has an annual generating capacity of 350,000 megawatts, yet due to the country's rapid economic growth, an additional 1,000 megawatts are required annually.

BYD Renewable Energy Business Development Director Mr. Guo Bin said the project would not only create a large market share for new energy companies, but would provide "valuable lessons for power market reform".

In order to achieve the EU's carbon emission targets, the Polish government introduced the "Energy Policy of Poland until 2030" in November 2009. According to the plan, by 2030, the proportion of coal used will be reduced from the previous 94 percent to 60 percent, with the remainder coming from new nuclear power plants, renewable energy and natural gas.

BYD, as the world leading energy storage solutions provider, is now supplying about around 463MWh of energy storage products to customers in the United States, Germany, France, Japan, Switzerland, Italy, Canada, Australia and South Africa.
