Actis adds 244MW of Polish battery storage from DRI

Actis announced it is acquiring two battery energy storage projects in Poland from DRI, totaling 244MW of power capacity and 1,141MWh of storage. The deal adds utility-scale batteries to a Polish renewables platform the company launched less than three months earlier, IPE Real Assets reported.

The two projects are at different completion stages: Kozienice is acquired and construction-ready; Trzebinia is signed and will complete once operational. Kozienice is the 112MW/518MWh asset and Trzebinia is the 132MW/623MWh one, both described as four-hour-plus duration.

A 17-year inflation-indexed capacity market agreement covers both assets; Actis calls it a secured revenue base.

The storage purchases follow Actis' July 2026 acquisition of Klara Renewables, a 171MW onshore wind portfolio with about 275MW of hybridisation potential. PID reported in August that the wind base was bought to seed a 1.5GW regional platform. Actis says the combined system-level portfolio is intended to mitigate volatility and increase Poland's grid flexibility.

The announcement describes the two projects as among the first utility-scale batteries to reach commercial operation in Poland.
