A large fleet of EVs in a country or region like the EU can store excess energy generated in renewable facilities daily and feed it back to the grid when demand increases.
The EU is transforming the RE sector, improving grid efficiency with Battery Energy Storage projects. Watch out for these BES projects in 2023.
Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, says stationary battery storage in Europe has grown but it''s still not fast enough. Herbert Diess sees that electric vehicles will play an essential role here.
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.
As Europe accelerates its shift towards a clean energy future, the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs)—including renewable energy, electric vehicles (EVs), and energy storage —is playing a pivotal role in transforming the continent''s power grid.

Electric vehicles (EV) are now a reality in the European automotive market with a share expected to reach 50% by 2030. The storage capacity of their batteries, the EV''s core component, will play an important role in stabilising the electrical grid.

The report, now in its ninth edition, compiled by the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) and LCP Delta tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects from over 27 countries to claim the moniker of the
For electric vehicle batteries and energy storage, the EU will need up to 18 times more lithium and 5 times more cobalt by 2030, and nearly 60 times more lithium and 15 times more cobalt by 2050, compared with the current supply to the whole EU economy.
The report, now in its ninth edition, compiled by the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) and LCP Delta tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects from over 27 countries to claim the moniker of the most comprehensive archive of European storage.

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.
The European Market Monitor on Energy Storage reveals rapid expansion in energy storage capacity in Europe, reaching 89GW by the end of 2024.
The storage process can be done on the grid and individual buildings levels, which has made Europe a renowned home of energy storage technologies. To further put the importance of battery storage in perspective, Europe needs a total of 187 GW of energy storage by 2030, 122 GW of which will be battery storage—that is about 65.24%.
Europe's Battery Storage Race and Why it Matters. The EU policy framework outlines the correlation between energy storage and climate change, explaining the Government's decarbonization plan to secure a sustainable, competitive, and affordable energy supply in Europe.
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.
