GreenYellow commits €100m to Poland’s C&I clean-energy buildout

• GreenYellow will invest €100 million in Poland over three years to scale rooftop solar, storage and efficiency upgrades for commercial and industrial customers.

French decentralised solar specialist GreenYellow will invest €100 million in Poland over the next three years, targeting a broad expansion of services for commercial and industrial (C&I) clients. The program blends on-site solar, battery storage and energy-efficiency upgrades—an offer designed to cut operating costs, reduce exposure to power-price volatility and help companies meet tightening emissions goals.

GreenYellow’s model emphasises simplicity: audits to identify savings, turnkey engineering and installation, and flexible financing via power purchase agreements (PPAs), energy-as-a-service or leasing. For manufacturers, logistics hubs and retail chains, typical measures start with rooftop or carport PV sized to daytime demand, then add LED retrofits, HVAC optimisation, variable-speed drives and smart controls. Where load profiles justify it, two- to four-hour batteries shift solar production into late-day peaks and shave demand charges; software orchestrates dispatch against tariffs and local network constraints.

Poland’s fundamentals are compelling. Rapid solar growth, strong corporate PPA appetite and sustained electrification in industry are pushing companies to secure dependable, low-carbon power close to load. At the same time, grid queues and long-lead electrical gear can slow greenfield builds—making behind-the-meter solutions attractive because they bypass substation upgrades and deliver faster paybacks.

Execution will hinge on standardisation and speed. GreenYellow plans to template designs across multi-site portfolios, bulk-buy long-lead equipment (transformers, switchgear) and unify monitoring so performance issues are flagged at string level. For landlords, the pitch includes higher asset value and improved EPC ratings; for tenants, predictable energy bills and progress toward ESG targets. Environmental measures—storm-water controls, low-glare modules, biodiversity-friendly groundcover for carports—are now standard in municipal permits

Bottom line: with a nine-figure commitment and a repeatable C&I playbook, GreenYellow aims to convert audits into commissioned kilowatts—turning rooftops and car parks across Poland into resilient, lower-cost power plants.
