UK-based renewable energy developer SSE Renewables has today (15 January) revealed it has acquired a 400MW solar portfolio in Poland.

“We need to think about the grid not only from the point of view of energy but as the backbone of the future economy,” said Michaɫ Sobczyk, head of regulation and markets at renewable energy developer EDPR Poland.

UK battery storage developers and operators are “getting a feel for what’s out there” in Poland and Central Eastern Europe (CEE) with many intentions having been deemed “not very concrete”, sources have said.

Community Energy England (CEE) has joined forces with Morrisons, M&S, Tesco and three of the UK’s biggest co-operatives – the Co-op Group, Central Co-op and MidCounties Co-operative – to urge the UK Government to prioritise unlocking additional renewable energy generation capacity, including solar.
