SolarPower Europe Report: European Battery Storage Expands
Europe''s battery storage growth in 2025 will largely depend on the commissioning of large-scale utility battery projects throughout the year. This segment is expanding rapidly
Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom continue to lead the European battery storage market in 2025 and together account for almost 70 percent of newly installed annual capacity. Germany holds the largest market share with 27 percent, followed by Italy with 17 percent and the UK with 11 percent.
Years of strong solar growth and high gas prices have increased electricity price volatility across the EU, strengthening opportunities for battery storage. In turn, batteries can increase power demand at peak solar times, supporting solar revenues.
Narrowing the scope to the European Union (EU), 18.5 GWh of BESS were installed across the bloc in 2024, equivalent to 85% of existing installations on the continent. As consequence, EU total operating battery storage capacity reached 49.1 GWh at the end of 2024.
nse incentive programmes waned, so did home solar and storage installation. Nevertheless, over 3 million home batteries have been connected to European grids within three years, shielding fa
