This piece is for anyone sweating over Europe''s energy storage slowdown – think policymakers clutching their espresso cups, renewable energy startups sweating ROI, and engineers muttering about "grid inertia" at conferences.
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.
Record battery storage installations across Europe mark a significant achievement, but concerns linger as growth begins to slow. SolarPower Europe''s latest analysis shows an urgent need for a strong framework. This is

The latest analysis from SolarPower Europe reveals that, in 2024, Europe installed 21.9 GWh of new battery energy storage systems (BESS), just 15% higher than 2023. The predictions of slower growth has come true, but the details reveal a big shift in where installations are happening.
Findings from Enlit Europe 2024. The European energy transition, aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels and increasing the use of renewable energy sources (RES), is experiencing a noticeable slowdown.
A new analysis from the latest European Market Outlook for Battery Storage shows that Europe experienced another record-breaking year for battery storage installations, even though the year-on-year growth rate has slowed.
In recent years, the European market has been affected by rising energy prices, the price of residential electricity has soared, and the economy of energy storage is reflected.

Our five-year outlook foresees significant BESS expansion in Europe – a sixfold increase to nearly 120 GWh by 2029, driving total capacity to 400 GWh, yet falls short of energy transition needs.
A new report from EASE and Delta-EE shows that that the European energy storage market grew by a total of 1GWh in 2019, a significant slow-down compared to 2018.

ecomendationsHow can European policymakers help the battery storage sectorBattery storage systems are essential for strengthening the EU’s energy security and competitiveness by enhancing flexibility, providing ancillary services to secure the grid, maximising the use of renewable energy, and effectively dealing with energy pr
Pumped hydro is the most widely used technology for energy storage in Europe and worldwide, but batteries and hydrogen have come into the spotlight over the last decade as a recent trend in the energy storage market.
The recent electricity outage in the Iberian Peninsula is a stark reminder of why this is important.” The BESS market in Europe is set to grow faster in the next years, although not at the levels required. In the most-likely scenario for 2025, 29.7 GWh of battery storage will be installed in Europe, representing a 36% annual growth.
