European Market Outlook for Battery Storage 2025-2029
The Platform is working to accelerate the implementation of existing legislation and complement it with a dedicated Energy Storage Action Plan and Flexibility Package to unleash
"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)
of battery storage capacity was installed in Europe at the end of 2023. Your expert for questions The European energy landscape is undergoing a profound change: the driver of this development is the ever-faster integration of renewable energy sources in order to reduce carbon emissions and achieve climate targets.
According to the latest analysis from SolarPower Europe, Europe added 17.2 GWh of new battery energy storage capacity in 2023, a 94% increase over the previous year, marking the third consecutive year of the market roughly doubling. This brought the total installed battery storage fleet to around 36 GWh by the end of the year.
Batteries Europe, launched in 2019, is the technology and innovation platform of the European Battery Alliance, run jointly by the Commission and stakeholders in the battery industry.
To generate revenue from battery energy storage systems in Europe, companies need to be strategic and take advantage of different markets and services. Capacity markets, for example, offer a stable source of income: payment is made for the provision of reserve capacity.
Electricity storage systems play a central role in this process. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) offer sustainable and cost-effective solutions to compensate for the disadvantages of renewable energies. These systems stabilize the power grid by storing energy when demand is low and releasing it during peak times.
