Will Europe's electrochemical energy storage installations double in 2020?
Image: NGEN. Europe’s cumulative electrochemical energy storage installation capacity has gone past the 5GWh mark and this year is likely to see installations almost double from 2020’s figures.
Why is energy storage important in the EU?
It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport. The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped hydro' storage, but battery storage projects are rising. A variety of new technologies to store energy are also rapidly developing and becoming increasingly market-competitive.
What is the European energy storage inventory?
In March 2025, 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.
Should energy storage be a part of the energiwende?
Behind-the-meter storage applications in residential and C&I are “growing very strongly”, but as BVES has previously argued,energy storage needs to be recognised as an integral part of the Energiwende, along with grid infrastructure build-out and other options.
Can energy storage help the EU decarbonise its energy supply?
A number of EU countries have also teamed up for ' Important Projects of Common European Interest ' on batteries research and innovation. Energy storage can help increase the EU's security of supply and support decarbonisation.
Why should EU countries consider the 'consumer-producer' role of energy storage?
It addresses the most important issues contributing to the broader deployment of energy storage. EU countries should consider the double 'consumer-producer' role of storage by applying the EU electricity regulatory framework and by removing barriers, including avoiding double taxation and facilitating smooth permitting procedures.
