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.
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.
The EU installed a record 27.1 GWh of new battery storage capacity in 2025, driven by utility-scale projects that accounted for over half of new additions as the bloc races to build the
New analysis reveals another year of record installations for European battery storage, despite slower year-on-year growth, according to the latest European Market Outlook for Battery
SolarPower Europe warns that, despite projecting to reach 400 GWh by 2029, the region needs at least 780 GWh to meet its energy flexibility goals. Battery storage is no longer an optional
In 2025, European Union member states installed 27.1 GWh of new battery energy storage capacity—a 45% increase over 2024—marking the twelfth consecutive year of record
The EU''s battery energy storage fleet has grown for the 12th consecutive year, marking yet another record year for new installations. According to a new report from SolarPower Europe
The 2025 market data underscores that battery energy storage systems (BESS) have solidified their position as the fastest-growing clean energy technology in Europe. This acceleration
