The EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland together are expected to reach 100 GW of installed energy storage later this month, according to new analysis launched on Wednesday by LCP Delta and Energy Storage Europe. Since 2020, Europe's energy storage sector has grown rapidly, with different technologies progressing at varying speeds.
EASE will now be known as the Energy Storage Europe association, with a new identity designed to give the sector a stronger visibility. This transformation marks a significant milestone as the association approaches its 15th anniversary and reflects the central role that energy storage now plays in Europe's energy future.
There is a “healthy pipeline of projects in development” across Europe's energy storage sector, but the technologies are as yet “significantly underutilised” below their potential. That's according to a new report produced for the European Union (EU) Joint Research Centre (JRC) and published a few days ago.
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 on a sunny or windy day - and releasing it when more energy is needed.
With 89 GW of installed capacity as of 2024, Europe is consolidating its energy transition through an unprecedented growth in storage technologies, led by pumped hydro and electrochemical batteries. The
