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
It contributes to the EU's circular economy and zero pollution ambitions and strengthens our strategic autonomy on batteries. Beyond batteries and pumped storage hydropower, the EU ranks second, after the U.S., in the number of companies developing novel energy storage technologies and leads in liquid air energy storage.
refers to the European Market Outlook for Battery StorageSolarPower EuropeIn last year's 'European Market Outlook for Battery Storage 2024-2028' (BESS 2024) report, ou Medium Scenario anticipated 22.4 GWh of battery capacity deployed in 2024. The current revision of the actual installation data lands very close
Utility scale battery storage capacity surpassed 26 GW in 2024 and continues to grow strongly, with BESS now forming a significant share of interconnection queues. Our new briefing, Future of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) U.S., provides a concise guide to the evolving opportunity set and risk landscape for U.S. BESS projects, including:
Held alongside The Battery Show Europe, Energy Storage Summit provides a focused platform to understand the policies, revenue models and deployment conditions shaping Germany''s
The GS Research European autos team sees more than 50% of the lithium and nickel for the European EV market coming from recycled batteries by 2040. While these trends point to greater
While renewable energy sources can''t be depleted in the same way as fossil fuels, they are ''variable'', meaning their availability fluctuates. That''s where energy storage solutions, such as
The energy storage battery markets in Europe and America are poised for remarkable growth driven by multifaceted influences that encompass technical innovations, regulatory
27.1 GWh of new battery capacity installed in 2025, marking the EU''s 12th consecutive record year for battery storage deployment. 55% of all new capacity came from utility-scale systems,
Welcome to our European Market Outlook for Battery Storage 2025-2029 Though the battery energy storage revolution continued to unfold across Europe in 2024, setting yet another
The main energy storage method in the EU is by far ''pumped storage hydropower'', which works by pumping water into reservoirs when there is an electricity surplus in the grid - for example
Battery energy storage system (BESS) deployment in the United States is accelerating as rising power demand, including from data centres, drives the need for flexible capacity and grid support.
The global lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery industry finds itself at a new inflection point. Demand for Li-ion batteries crossed the milestone threshold of 1.0 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2024 and likely
Global investment in EV batteries has surged eightfold since 2018 and fivefold for battery storage, rising to a total of USD 150 billion in 2023. About USD 115 billion – the lion''s share – was for
