6 FAQs about EU Energy Batteries and Energy Storage

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 are the benefits of battery energy storage in Europe?

Increasing the use of renewables in the energy mix allows energy imports to be reduced, with clear benefits for Europe's energy independence and security. The decarbonisation of the energy mix and reductions in overall CO2 emissions are other clear, positive outcomes of an increased use of Battery Energy Storage in Europe.

Can battery energy storage solve Europe's energy challenges?

In order to deploy renewables and to release their potential for ensuring a stable and secure energy supply, Europe needs to work to overcome the intrinsic limits of renewables. One solution to these challenges is Battery Energy Storage.

What is the battery storage Europe platform?

"The Battery Storage Europe Platform represents a vital opportunity to help shape smarter regulation and advocate for a policy framework that truly supports investment in storage. If we are to scale at the pace the energy transition demands, platforms like this must lead the way." Managing Director, Renewable Energy Insurance Broker (REIB)

Why is battery production important for the EU?

Batteries, widely used in the transport and energy sectors, are central to the global energy system. They will be key to the EU's clean energy transition, industrial future and strategic autonomy. Boosting the industrial base for battery production is therefore a key task for the EU.

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.
