European household bess energy storage field share

What is the capacity of battery energy storage systems (Bess) in Europe?

The capacity of newly installed battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Europe will exceed 146 GWh by 2027. In many countries, the BESS market is underdeveloped and forecasted to score significant growth shortly.

What was the increase in new BESS capacity in Europe in 2023?

According to the latest analysis from SolarPower Europe, 17.2 GWh of new BESS capacity was installed in Europe in 2023, experiencing an impressive 94% increase compared to 2022. In 2023, the equivalent of 1.7 million more European homes became solar battery powered.

What is the total capacity of Europe's BESS fleet?

By the end of 2023, Europe’s total operating BESS fleet reached around 36 GWh.

How big is Europe's storage capacity in 2023?

In 2023, Europe’s newly installed storage capacity grew by 94% to 17.2 GWh to reach a total installed capacity of 35.9 GWh in 2023, after doubling in 2021 and 2022. But what looks very impressive at first glance, equals less than 15% of the global stationary battery market last year, which grew much faster, at 133%.

How many battery energy storage systems are there in Europe?
