Efficiency of EU energy storage batteries

4 FAQs about Efficiency of EU energy storage batteries

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.

What is the European market outlook for battery storage?

The European Market Outlook for battery storage shows that growth comes from the rising demand for effective energy storage. This is key for using renewable energy sources like solar and wind. These statistics underline the importance of energy storage in achieving the region's climate goals.

What will Europe's battery storage growth look like in 2025?

Europe's battery storage growth in 2025 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.
