Small solar energy storage in Southern Europe
📌

How many battery energy storage systems were installed in Europe in ?

21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) was installed in Europe in , 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 , after three consecutive years of doubling newly added capacity.

📌

What is the European energy storage inventory?

A new interactive platform delivers real-time clean energy storage insights as Europe shifts toward sustainable energy sources. Energy storage helps to balance supply and demand. The European Energy Storage Inventory is the first of its kind at European level to show all forms of clean energy storage solutions.

📌

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 Solarpower Europe?

SolarPower Europe is the award-winning link between policymakers and the solar PV value chain. Our mission is to ensure solar becomes Europe’s leading energy source by . As the member-led association for the European solar PV sector, SolarPower Europe represents over 320 organisations across the entire solar sector.

📌

Which country is promoting the development of residential energy storage?

In terms of residential energy storage, the Polish government has launched Moj PRD 5.0 subsidy program to encourage the development of residential energy storage. Sweden’s installed battery storage capacity is expected to grow from 503 MW in to 3.8 GW in , with high revenue levels in the ancillary services market driving the market growth.

📌

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.

📌

Pricing pressures boost energy storage

Interest in co-locating solar PV with energy storage is increasing in Southern Europe, as grid curtailments and negative or near zero prices for solar PV become more frequent.
