A new interactive platform—the European Energy Storage Inventory —has been launched to provide near real-time insights into energy storage deployment across the EU,
Global demand for energy storage systems is expected to grow by more than 20 percent annually until 2030 due to the need for flexibility in the energy market and increasing energy independence. This demand is leading to the development
The European Energy Storage Inventory provides impressive figures on the current state of energy storage capacities in Europe. According to the platform, 905 projects with a total output of 66 gigawatts are currently in operation.
The Battery Storage Europe Platform brings together industry leaders representing the battery storage value chain to advance the business case and regulatory frameworks for battery storage across the EU. Together, we urge a tenfold increase in battery storage by 2030 to ensure Europe’s energy transition, security, and competitiveness.
Particularly noteworthy is the ambitious project in Alfeld (Lower Saxony), which is considered the largest approved storage project in Europe with a performance of 137.5 megawatts and a storage capacity of 275 megawatt hours.
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.
In March 2025, the Commission launched the European Energy Storage Inventory, a real-time dashboard that displays energy storage levels across different European countries. It is the first European-level tool of its kind and offers energy storage data across a full range of technologies.
In a larger context, Europe will need a total of 187 GW of energy storage capacity by 2030, including 122 GW of battery storage capacity. These ambitious goals underline the central importance of energy storage for the European energy transition and illustrate the enormous economic potential of this sector in the coming years.
