SolarPower Europe has published its new market intelligence report, the European Market Outlook for Battery Storage 2024-2028. The report illustrates the state of play of battery storage across Europe, with updated figures on annual and total installed capacities up to 2023 and a forecast of future installations under three scenarios until 2028

Today, the installed capacity of battery energy storage systems operating in Europe has exceeded the 20GW mark, with the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy dominating the European energy storage market. However, even compared with its Nordic neighbors, Norway''s battery energy storage market development is still unsatisfactory.

The European energy storage industry has witnessed remarkable growth over the last decade, going from 9MW of project announcements in 2010 up to a total of 5,700MW in 2020 (year to date). Out of these projects, around 1.7GW are operational while the remaining 4GW are either announced or under construction (Figure 1) [1]. arbitrage,
