Abstract: Energy storage facilities serve as flexible resources that comprehensively support grid operations; they are also essential, especially when the thermal power plants that previously served as regulators run out. Electricity is becoming the dominant carrier through which the bulk of consumers’ energy needs are met. The efficiency of long-distance transmission and the ease of conversion to other forms of energy in Poland are attributed to the national grid. Thanks to the development of new technologies and distribution channels, energy is changing its supply network system. The purpose of this article is to discuss the economic viability of energy storage systems and their strategic role in the energy transition. The research methods used are data analysis, and the dependence on capital expenditures ( C A P E X ) and operating costs ( O P E X ) of energy storage in distribution channels. Energy storage facilities operated by grid companies account for 90% of the installed capacity, but there is a noticeable increase in the number of prosumer installations, with an energy storage of up to 50 KWh at microinstallations.
