European energy storage peak season

How much energy storage will Europe have in 2023?

Europe has seen its first year when energy storage deployments by power capacity exceeded 10GW in 2023. The eighth annual edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES) was published last week by consultancy LCP Delta and the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE).

What is the European energy storage inventory?

A new interactive platform delivers real-time clean energy storage insights as Europe shifts toward sustainable energy sources. Energy storage helps to balance supply and demand. The European Energy Storage Inventory is the first of its kind at European level to show all forms of clean energy storage solutions.

What is the future of energy storage in Finland?

The Finnish energy storage market is expected to grow from 185 MW in 2023 to 1 GW in 2030, mainly focused on grid-side storage. With the growth of wind power capacity, especially offshore wind power, the demand for large-scale energy storage systems on the grid will increase.

What is the future of energy storage in Norway?

Hydropower accounts for 90%, and 1.4 GW of micro pumped hydro storage capacity has been installed, with limited demand for battery energy storage. Norway’s poor lighting conditions, residential PV and energy storage development are limited, the future market may mainly focus on the outlying island microgrid.

When will energy storage projects come online in Poland?

It is expected that large-scale energy storage projects will come online after 2026, while some projects will be connected to the grid ahead of time. In terms of residential energy storage, the Polish government has launched Moj PRD 5.0 subsidy program to encourage the development of residential energy storage.

Why is energy storage a growing trend in Germany?

Volatile energy prices and the popularity of photovoltaic self-use have driven demand for residential energy storage, which is expected to continue to grow through 2030. In addition, Germany plans to hold its first capacity market auction in 2028 to boost the development of large-scale energy storage projects.
