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
But here''s the kicker: intermittent power sources like wind and solar need massive energy storage to actually hit those numbers. That''s where Goldwind''s European battery energy storage systems
Greenvolt Group, through Greenvolt Power, a global developer of large-scale wind, solar, and battery energy storage, has secured €58.5 million in project finance with Erste Group Bank AG
These projects are essential components of a broader strategy aimed at integrating fluctuating renewable energy sources into the grid. By enabling the optimization of energy
To explore offshore sites further out to sea with stronger and more consistent winds, several European developers are working on floating offshore wind turbines. Multiple pilot projects
This figure encompasses various technologies, including pumped hydro storage and battery energy storage systems (BESS), reflecting the continent''s commitment to integrating
The main energy storage method in the EU is by far ''pumped storage hydropower'', which works by pumping water into reservoirs when there is an electricity surplus in the grid - for example
If the EU is to meet its climate targets in time and integrate even higher shares of renewables as stated in the REPowerEU plan, reliance on fossil fuel imports and backup gas generation must be replaced
The EU is advancing several key projects and initiatives in the energy storage field to boost renewable energy integration, stabilize the grid, and support clean energy goals.
We expect Europe to install 187 GW of new wind power capacity over 2025-2030. The EU-27 should install 140 GW of this – 23 GW a year on average. This would bring total installations
