📌

Did Europe have a record-breaking year for battery storage installations?

A new analysis from the latest European Market Outlook for Battery Storage shows that Europe experienced another record-breaking year for battery storage installations, even though the year-on-year growth rate has slowed.

📌

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

21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) was installed in Europe in , 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 , after three consecutive years of doubling newly added capacity.

📌

What is the future of battery storage in Europe?

This segment is expanding rapidly and, for the first time, is expected to account for the majority of battery installations across the continent. While home batteries have traditionally led the European storage market, their share is projected to decline to 33% in .

📌

What will Europe's battery storage growth look like in ?

Europe’s battery storage growth in will largely depend on the commissioning of large-scale utility battery projects throughout the year. This segment is expanding rapidly and, for the first time, is expected to account for the majority of battery installations across the continent.

📌

Is battery energy storage a solution to Europe's energy crisis?

Europe is at the forefront of decarbonisation efforts, with already achieved results and ambitious goals for the coming decades, particularly in the power sector. However, the greening of the European electricity system also requires increasing flexibility . Battery energy storage systems (BESS) represent a crucial component of the solution.

📌

How big is the battery storage capacity in Europe?

the operating battery storage capacity reached 49.1 GWh at the end of .Over the past 4 years, the enlargement of Europe’s BESS fleet has intensified, achieving a CAGR of nearly 0%, whereas from -, the average annual increase remained below 50%. Thanks to this upswing during the last 4 years, the battery storage capacity in Europe is
