In June 2025, for the first time, the sun became the main source of electricity generation in the EU. Installed solar photovoltaic capacity reached 406 GW in 2025, far surpassing the targets set
This innovative tool systematically catalogizes all energy storage projects within Europe, from the first planning phase to operational operation.
The Energy Storage Coalition urges the European Commission to develop an Action Plan on Energy Storage, providing much-needed regulatory clarity and supporting Member States in
Advanced lithium-ion systems, hydrogen storage, and gravity-based solutions are now enabling energy independence and grid stability in ways previously thought impossible.
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
Behind-the-meter storage has become a standard feature of new residential solar systems in leading EU markets, while large-scale batteries are now increasingly planned together
The EU installed a record 27.1 GWh of new battery storage capacity in 2025, driven by utility-scale projects that accounted for over half of new additions as the bloc races to build the
EU manufacturers are boosting resilience through intelligent storage, peak shaving, and flexible load management – cutting costs, easing grid strain, and securing production during energy scarcity, says
Given the exponential growth in PV generation over the past years and its expected continued growth, this article examines the optimal level of battery storage required to balance this
