Utility-scale projects drive growth, with annual installations projected to reach 138 GWh by 2030, up from 36 GWh in 2025.
Europe’s battery storage installations are set to quadruple by 2030, reaching up to 138 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually, driven by utility-scale projects. Last year, new installations totaled 36 GWh, a 48% increase from 2024, when growth had slowed.
This year, installations are expected to exceed 50 GWh, marking a rebound in momentum. The expansion aligns with rising demand for renewable energy integration and grid stability across the region.
The report highlights accelerating adoption as governments and utilities prioritize energy storage to support decarbonization targets.
