4 FAQs about [European Union Energy Storage Power]

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.

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.

Are battery storage systems a good investment in Europe?

Battery storage systems (BESS) are poised for significantly higher profits across Europe, with Rystad Energy analysis suggesting potential increases of over 15% in some countries. The positive shift follows changes to the European Union’s (EU) power pricing structure introduced in October, making the economics of BESS projects much more attractive.
