The two entities will work together for the establishment of a battery energy storage facility in Żarnowiec, Poland.
PGE anticipates to begin commercial operations at this facility in 2027.
LG Energy Solution will also be responsible for providing a turnkey solution that includes containerised battery systems and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services, in collaboration with its European partners.
According to LG Energy Solution, this project will utilise the first grid-scale ESS batteries produced at its manufacturing facility in the country.
It will supply high-capacity lithium iron phosphate (LFP) long-cell batteries, which are claimed to offer enhanced energy efficiency and safety features, have higher energy density than traditional LFP solutions, and incorporate liquid cooling technology to enhance performance and reliability.
LG Energy Solution ESS battery division head Hyung Kim said: “This project is one of the largest ESS initiatives led by LG Energy Solution in Europe. By launching LFP-based products designed specifically for the European market and leveraging our local production capabilities, we have maximised customer value.
“We are honoured to support Poland’s energy transition through this agreement. Moving forward, we will continue to provide optimal solutions for our customers and accelerate the expansion of our ESS business in Europe.”
PGE supplies electricity to nearly six million households, businesses, and institutions in Poland.
PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna management board president Dariusz Marzec said: “We are excited to enter a new era of energy storage with the construction of our first large-scale battery energy storage facility in Żarnowiec. Our partnership with LG Energy Solution marks a major milestone in our commitment to advancing Poland’s clean energy transition, and we look forward to strengthening our collaboration to foster sustainable growth in the region.”
