What is the role of PST in the Polish solar business?
Tomasz Bodetko: Projekt Solartechnik Group is among the leading renewable energy developers in Poland. We have secured grid connection conditions for over 1 GW of pv projects and nearly 400 MW of battery energy storage projects. Currently, more than 250 MW of our solar farms are operational, generating green energy. We are also in the early stages of developing wind energy projects.

What is your job?
The company I represent, PST Trade, is an energy trading entity that not only maximizes returns from our assets but also offers green energy solutions for businesses and purchases green energy from other producers. Our operations are further enhanced by the sale of renewable energy projects and turnkey pv farms.

What services or products does PST offer?
Our mission is to provide innovative solutions in the renewable energy sector, particularly for industries that rely on green energy, through products like Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) and Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPA). For instance, we are one of the few companies capable of offering clients a fully operational pv farm. With CPPA we can supply energy tailored to their business needs. This enables our clients to become energy producers, aligning with ESG trends.
Central and Eastern Europe increasingly in the solar gigawatt class
Does it mean, one project for one costumer only?
We also offer portions of our renewable energy projects at various stages to other investors, such as Independent Power Producers (IPPs), large corporations, or investment funds. This allows for faster acquisition and development of assets by entities that may otherwise face delays or are not currently active in the Polish market.

Is your focus primarily on the national, European, or international market?
At present, our primary focus is on the Polish market. However, we are also active in Germany, where we are developing solar farm projects.
More news and insigts about the Polish market
Which developments in the Polish market do you expect for the next 12 months?
In Poland, the key development needed is the expansion of energy storage facilities to balance power supply within the grid. This is the most critical factor that will facilitate further growth of PV farms. Without the implementation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), we anticipate an increase in solar farm curtailments and a subsequent drop in prices, which could make these projects economically less viable.
