Construction of the largest energy storage facility in Poland – and one of the biggest of its kind anywhere in Europe – has begun. Poland is in the process of transforming its energy system, and energy storage is a critical enabler as the country transitions away from coal. Last year's main auction of the power market, with capacity delivery for 2029, further bumped up the capacity of storage projects. This year's event saw a significant presence of Tier 1 BESS Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

Located in the Westhaven of Amsterdam, the new battery installation—named Giraffe—is the largest in the city, with a power capacity of 10 MW and an energy storage capacity of 47 MWh. With Giraffe, sustainably generated energy can be efficiently stored and deployed during times of. Amstelveen, 20 October 2025 GIGA Storage today officially inaugurates its third large-scale energy storage project. At the core of this transformation lies smart grid technology, a revolutionary way for clean energy to be generated, distributed, and consumed. The battery, called Giraffe, is located in Amsterdam's Western Port Area and, with a capacity of 10 megawatts (MW) and 47 megawatt-hours (MWh), it is the largest in the city. Let's unpack how this canal city became the continent's energy storage lab.
