Congratulations to Pallacanestro Fiorenzuola 1972! 👏🐝

At Syma Group, as sponsor of the Bees, we followed the team’s battle to stay in Serie B Nazionale Old Wild West with great joy. The Bees showed character, determination and true team spirit, defeating OraSì Ravenna in the play-outs with a confident 3-0 victory.

Heartfelt congratulations to the players and the whole club on this success.
We wish you further as great as achievements and more reasons to be proud.

Well done, Bees - keep it up! 💪🏀

⚡ 160 MW of grid connection conditions for energy storage - submitted!

Last week we reached an important milestone - applications for two BESS projects in Poland are now with the DSO.

A huge thank you to the team for the hard work and full commitment. 🏆

More stages ahead - let's go!

We are a Polish-Italian company - and we take that seriously. 🇵🇱 🇮🇹

It's not just about where we have projects.
It's about how we build bridges between two markets, two business cultures, and two renewable energy ecosystems.

🤝 Since 2020, we have been a founding member of Confindustria Polonia and from the very beginning, we have been committed to deepening cooperation between our countries.

This was not a coincidental choice.
It was a reflection of our conviction that the green transformation in Europe requires cross-border partnership - not just declarations.

🌍 Italy and Poland have different starting points on Europe's energy map.
But they share a common goal: energy security, decarbonisation, and long-term growth.

⚡ You don't build that alone.

An IPO is not a finish line — it's a starting line.

That's one thing we took away from the first 🎓 GPW IPO Academy session in Warsaw, where we had the pleasure of representing Syma Polska.

The workshop focused on the path to the Main Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange — from IPO process planning to equity story, valuation and investor communication.

💡 Key takeaway: an IPO is not an event — it's a process. The earlier you prepare, the better the outcome.

Thank you to the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the speakers and all participants for insightful discussions and practical perspectives.

Have you ever gone through an IPO process — or are you considering one? We'd love to hear your experience. 👇

Four more sessions to go.

A major step forward for one of our key energy storage projects.

We have obtained the building conditions for our 200 MW BESS project in western Poland.

As one of the largest battery energy storage projects in our pipeline, it represents an important milestone in the development of infrastructure that will strengthen grid flexibility and support the continued growth of renewable energy.

More updates to follow.

⚡ Jubileuszowy Kongres Energetyki Przyszłości w Toruniu — za nami

KEP zgromadził ekspertów, przedstawicieli biznesu, administracji i nauki, którzy wspólnie podsumowali kluczowe wyzwania sektora energetycznego.

🔎 Co działo się na miejscu:
• Panele, warsztaty i spotkania round tables
• Wymiana doświadczeń między praktykami
• Prezentacja praktycznych podejść do wdrażania innowacyjnych rozwiązań

🤝 Największa wartość wydarzenia: bezpośrednie rozmowy i nawiązywanie relacji, które mogą przełożyć się na konkretne projekty i współpracę.

Jubileuszowa edycja KEP potwierdziła swoją rolę ważnej platformy dialogu i inspiracji dla przyszłości energetyki.

Until recently, a Building conditions (WZ) decision was the default path for utility-scale PV and BESS projects in Poland 🇵🇱
That path is closing.

Installations above 1 MW will soon require an MPZP - a local spatial plan. The Building conditions (WZ) route that most developers relied on will no longer be available for large-scale RES ⚠️

There's a catch: municipalities were supposed to adopt new general plans by the same deadline. Most haven't. Many that tried had their plans overturned by provincial governors during supervisory review.

So the situation is shaping up like this:
📋 No local spacial plan (MPZP) → no building permit for projects above 1 MW
🏛️ No plan general → no new building conditions (WZ) decisions at all
⏳ Most rural municipalities - where large-scale projects are actually viable - are behind schedule on both

For developers, this means one thing: the permitting bottleneck just became the single biggest variable in any PolishRES pipeline.

Projects that secured their building conditions WZ before the cutoff have a head start that will only grow. Projects that didn't are nowcompeting for local spacial plan MPZP capacity in municipalities that are already overwhelmed.

The regulatory window didn't just narrow — for projects above 1 MW, it shifted to an entirely different instrument 📌

How is this affecting your development pipeline? 👇

Most BESS sites are selected for one reason: proximity to the grid⚡

That's the right starting point. It's not a sufficient one.

Once grid distance is solved, the site still needs to pass three filters that don't appear on any infrastructure map 🗺️

🔥 Fire safety setbacks. Battery storage systems carry specific fire-load characteristics that trigger separation distance requirements — from property boundaries, from buildings, from other installations. In Poland, these aren't standardized across municipalities. What passes in one location gets rejected in another. The distances involved can reduce the usable footprint of a site by 30–40%, turning a viable plot into one that no longer fits the required capacity.

🚧 Access and emergency response. BESS facilities require heavy vehicle access for installation and maintenance — and guaranteed emergency vehicle access at all times. Rural sites that look ideal on satellite imagery often lack road infrastructure rated for the loads involved. Upgrading access roads adds cost, time, and a separate permitting layer that sits outside the energy project itself.

🌊 Terrain and drainage. Battery containers need stable, level foundations. Sites with high water tables, flood exposure, or soft ground require civil engineering work that can double the site preparation budget. These conditions are invisible from above — they only appear in geotechnical surveys that most developers don't commission until after the land is secured.

📌 Grid proximity gets you to the shortlist. These three filters determine which sites actually get built.

What's the siting constraint that has cost you the most time to resolve? 👇

A grid connection offer and a bankable grid connection are not the same thing.

In Poland, the distance between them is usually two clauses.

The first: substation upgrade conditions. When the local substation needs to be expanded to accommodate a project, the
offer will sometimes assign that cost — partially or fully — to the developer. It doesn't appear in the headline
connection fee. It appears in the technical conditions, several pages in. On larger projects, it can reach figures
that change the entire investment calculus.

The second: curtailment provisions. The offer confirms that power can be injected into the grid. The conditions
specify under what circumstances the operator can limit that injection — and whether any compensation mechanism
applies. In a PV or BESS project where revenue depends on dispatch certainty, this clause is not a technicality. It's
a revenue assumption.

Both are negotiable. But only if you've read them before signing.

An offer that looks clean at headline level can carry significant exposure in its conditions. The developers who get
this right evaluate connection offers on what they commit to — not what they charge.

What's the clause in a connection agreement that has surprised you most?

17/03/2026

Close to 200 sites screened in Poland for utility-scale PV, Wind and BESS.

Most didn't survive the first filter.

Not because of capital. Because of what was already on the map.

The pattern was consistent. Three things kept coming up:

- Distance from the nearest GPZ. The economics of large-scale projects are sensitive to grid connection distance in ways
that only become visible when you price the actual cable run. Sites that look viable on paper become unworkable fast.
This single filter eliminates more candidates than anything else.

- Soil classification. In Poland, class I–III agricultural land carries legal protection that makes development
conversion extremely difficult. It's one of the first things to check — and one of the most commonly skipped in
early-stage screening.

- Aviation zones. Military and civilian airspace constraints that don't appear on standard land maps. Relevant for wind,
increasingly relevant for taller structures. They eliminate sites quietly, late, and at cost.

None of these are capital problems. They're development problems — and the distinction matters. Capital follows good
projects. It doesn't fix the wrong ones.

What's the constraint that has eliminated the most sites in your experience?
