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 2030. As the member-led association for the European solar PV sector, SolarPower Europe represents over 320 organisations across the entire solar sector.
Is energy storage a good investment in Europe?Compared to classic renewables, energy storage has really only become an investable asset in Europe over the last few years on the back of technology advances, market price signals, and government support mechanisms.
How many battery energy storage systems were installed in Europe in 2024?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.
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.
How much energy storage will Europe have by 2050?Overall, total energy storage in Europe is expected to increase to about 375 gigawatts by 2050, from 15 gigawatts last year, according to BloombergNEF. We spoke with Grebien about electricity market trends, energy storage technologies, as well as the investment and financing opportunities emerging from these technologies.
Why should you invest in battery storage in Europe?In Europe, the capacity of renewable energy sources is growing very rapidly, while traditional power plants are slowly being decommissioned. That’s creating a unique new opportunity for investors amid the emerging demand for battery storage, which provides balance to electricity marke
