BESS
Energy Storage Systems – The foundation of modern power systems
At Vortex, we are developing a portfolio of BESS projects with a total capacity of nearly 1800 MW - covering various technologies, scales, and locations. We also create hybrid solutions that integrate storage with renewable energy installations, supporting supply reliability and system stability in dynamic market conditions.
Energy storage plays a key role in today’s power system. It supports grid stability and efficient resource management.
Storage systems increase system flexibility and security. They enable the accumulation of surplus generation - particularly from renewable sources—and its use during periods of high demand. This supports system balancing, efficient resource management, and grid stability, while reducing risks and mitigating the impact of outages.
At Vortex, we view energy storage as a cornerstone of the energy transition. We are developing a portfolio of projects totalling nearly 1800 MW across different scales and locations. An important part of our strategy is hybrid installations that integrate storage with non-dispatchable sources, such as wind farms.
Our activities are supported by the expertise of the Vitol Group, spanning the entire value chain—from access to global technology suppliers to advanced operational models. This enables us to offer flexible solutions tailored to the needs of our clients, partners, and regulatory requirements.

I believe that the development of energy storage is not just a response to the challenges of the energy transition—it is a prerequisite for it.
Aleksandra Józefiak - Pałka / Head of New Development, Vortex EnergyI believe that the development of energy storage is not just a response to the challenges of the energy transition—it is a prerequisite for it.
In the development of renewable energy, value is not measured solely in megawatts.Energy storage is evolving rapidly—costs and sizes continue to decrease, while efficiency and operational safety improve. It has become possible to effectively balance weather-dependent renewable sources and, as a result, provide continuous energy supply to end users according to their needs, at competitive and long-term stable prices.
Our commitment to energy storage comes from experience—we see firsthand how it genuinely increases value for the power system, operators, and end users. It is a technology that combines safety with innovation and forms a cornerstone of future-oriented energy systems.

Comprehensive servicesEnergy storage facilities – an investment in stability and the future of the energy sectorBESS is permanently transforming energy systems worldwide. It addresses the needs of a changing energy market, supports the integration of renewable energy, and offers scalable, repeatable solutions adapted to evolving regulatory and business conditions.
Our conviction about the strategic role of energy storage comes from observing changes in the energy sector—both in Poland and internationally. The growing share of non-dispatchable renewable sources, the pressure to reduce emissions, and the simultaneous need to balance and maintain system stability in real time make the ability to respond flexibly the new currency of the energy market.
Energy storage is no longer just a technological add-on; today, it is a strategic infrastructure asset, crucial for the security of energy supply. For Vortex, it is an area where real competitive advantage can be built by combining efficient energy management with a predictable revenue model.
Our investments are based on the analysis of long-term trends, regulatory stability, and the potential to scale projects—both in commercial models and in system services. We believe that companies developing BESS capabilities today will play a key role in the future energy market.
