Is energy storage growing in Europe?

The fleet of energy storage projects in Europe, including both pumped hydro and battery energy storage systems of all sizes, is expanding rapidly. This growth is set to continue at a strong pace through 2030, fueled by technological advancements, supportive policies, and other key factors. Image: European Association for Storage of Energy

Why is energy storage important in the EU?

It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport. The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped hydro' storage, but battery storage projects are rising. A variety of new technologies to store energy are also rapidly developing and becoming increasingly market-competitive.

How big is Europe's energy storage capacity?

The European Market Monitor on Energy Storage reveals rapid expansion in energy storage capacity in Europe, reaching 89GW by the end of 2024.

How big is energy storage in Europe in 2024?

Pumped-hydro storage (PHS) dominated the market, accounting for 53 GW of total capacity. Meanwhile, electrochemical storage reached 35 GW, with many installations in homes and businesses. Large-scale thermal projects accounted for around 1 GW. The rate of energy storage adoption varied across European countries in 2024. Image: EASE

How many battery energy storage systems were installed in Europe in 2024?

21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) was installed in Europe in 2024, marking the eleventh consecutive year of record breaking-installations, and bringing Europe’s total battery fleet to 61.1 GWh. However, the annual growth rate slowed down to 15% in 2024, after three consecutive years of doubling newly added capacity.
