How does energy storage work in the EU?
The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped storage hydropower', which works by pumping water into reservoirs when there is an electricity surplus in the grid - for example on a sunny or windy day - and releasing it when more energy is needed.
Is the battery storage age just beginning in Europe?
Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe (she/her), said: “If Europe has already entered the solar age, the battery storage age is just beginning. With solar energy mainstreaming across the continent, now is the time for European decisionmakers to put batteries at the centre of a flexible, electrified, energy system.
What is the European energy storage inventory?
In March , the Commission launched the European Energy Storage Inventory, a real-time dashboard that displays energy storage levels across different European countries. It is the first European-level tool of its kind and offers energy storage data across a full range of technologies.
Why is battery storage so important in Europe?
Markus Elsaesser, the CEO of Solar Promotion GmbH (he/him), said: “Europe’s solar success has laid the foundation – now battery storage is stepping into its pivotal role. With solar power surging across the continent, the need for flexible capacity has never been clearer, and batteries are ready to deliver.
What happened to Europe's battery capacity in ?
In , Europe added 21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS), marking the eleventh straight year of record-setting installations and raising the continent’s total battery capacity to 61.1 GWh. However, the annual growth rate declined to 15%—a slowdown following three years of doubling new capacity additions.
