Renewable energy capacity outpaces storage infrastructure
European Union nations are rapidly increasing their renewable energy capacity, driven by oil price shocks and supply chain volatility.
The addition of wind and solar capacity has made significant progress, but the growth of supportive infrastructure like energy storage systems has not kept pace.
This imbalance has resulted in wasted surplus energy during peak production hours and an increase in negative incidents.
The lack of energy storage infrastructure threatens to undermine the continent’s efforts to transition to a more sustainable energy mix.
