SolarPower Europe Report: European Battery Storage Expands
Europe''s battery storage growth in 2025 will largely depend on the commissioning of large-scale utility battery projects throughout the year. This segment is expanding rapidly
The fleet of energy storage projects in Europe, including both pumped hydro and battery energy storage systems of all sizes, is expanding rapidly. This growth is set to continue at a strong pace through 2030, fueled by technological advancements, supportive policies, and other key factors.
This growth is set to continue at a strong pace through 2030, fueled by technological advancements, supportive policies, and other key factors. Europe continues to grow its energy storage fleet at pace, advancing its transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system.
The rate of energy storage adoption varied across European countries in 2024. Pumped-hydro storage (PHS): Italy, France, Germany, and Spain had the largest capacities. Residential electrochemical storage: Germany and Italy remained the top markets despite a slowdown.
Germany continued to lead Europe's residential storage sector, adding over 510,000 new installations in 2024, even after a 10% decline, the LCP Delta and EASE find. However, according to Germany's Federal Association of Energy Storage Systems (BVES), the 2024 drop in the residential storage segment was much more pronounced, reaching as high as 40%.
