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.
The latest edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage by LCP Delta and The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE), released today, highlights Europe's rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024.
Pumped-hydro storage (PHS) dominated the market, accounting for 53 GW of total capacity. Meanwhile, electrochemical storage reached 35 GW, with many installations in homes and businesses. Large-scale thermal projects accounted for around 1 GW. The rate of energy storage adoption varied across European countries in 2024. Image: EASE
Front-of-meter (FoM) electrochemical storage: Italy experienced a surge in capacity, adding 1.6 GW of installations in 2024, driven by capacity market projects with mainly four-hour durations. Great Britain followed with 1.3 GW/2.5 GWh of new capacity but did not see the same level of growth.
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.
