R.Power: A Record-breaking Year for BESS and Renewables Offtake Contracts

R.Power, a pan-European Independent Power Producer (IPP) with a fast-growing multi-technology portfolio, is celebrating a record 12 months in the commercialisation of its utility-scale Battery Energy Storage (BESS), hybrid and renewable energy assets.

Over the last year, R.Power has signed contracts securing long-term revenues for over 1.5GW of storage and generation capacity across Poland, Romania, Germany and Italy.

Employing a strategy of revenue diversification across its portfolio, R.Power has secured capacity market auction wins, Contracts for Difference (CfDs), long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with blue-chip corporates and BESS optimisation deals with leading utilities. R.Power’s total contracted BESS and renewables capacity now exceeds 3GW across six European markets.

 

Achievements from the past 12 months

R.Power’s commercialisation achievements from the past 12 months have included:

• Contracts for 1GW of BESS secured in the Polish capacity market auction – in which R.Power was one of the biggest winners
• BESS optimisation deals signed, securing long-term revenues for R.Power’s flagship Jedwabno (150MW / 300MWh) and Scornicesti (127MW / 254 MWh) projects
• Commercialisation of R.Power’s first hybrid PV & BESS through auction wins in German innovation tenders
• CfDs secured through the Polish, German and Italian auctions
• Corporate PPAs signed for 250MWp with major offtakers

Europe’s energy market is undergoing a significant transformation as demand for firm green power grows and flexibility deals rise in prominence. According to data from price intelligence platform Pexapark, 2025 was a record-breaking year for flexibility in Europe, with nearly 12GW / 23GWh of BESS capacity contracted under flexibility and optimisation deals – three times the 2024 total.

R.Power’s strategic goal is to build out its BESS asset base to structurally balance its significant existing solar PV portfolio, pioneering Europe’s path to firm clean power. Recent optimisation contracts for its Polish Jedwabno (150MW / 300MWh) and Romanian Scornicesti (127MW / 254 MWh) BESS projects have provided significant impetus in meeting this objective.

“The range of contracts we have secured over the past 12 months, whether bilateral offtake and optimisation deals, capacity auction wins or CfDs highlight a rapidly evolving market where diverse revenue strategies are essential. These contracts are also testament to the market-leading capabilities of our commercial team working across some of Europe’s most sophisticated energy markets, the trust we have built with leading corporate and utility offtakers, and, above all, the quality of our 10+GW pipeline of grid-secured, utility-scale BESS and renewables projects,” Rafał Hajduk, Chief Commercial Officer at R.Power, said.

“These deals are laying the foundation for our ongoing growth as a pan-European Independent Power Producer and a leading player in firm and flexible green power,” he added.
