In 2024, Europe¹ installed 21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS), marking the eleventh year of record-breaking annual additions since 2013, when our records began. The latest additions take the total running European battery fleet to 61.1 GWh at the end of 2024.
One thing is certain, battery energy storage systems – from residential to commercial & industrial (C&I) to utility-scale – are the absolute short cut to delivering the flexible, electrified energy system that is foundational to EU energy security and competitiveness goals.
ery storage fleet reaches 60 GWh in 2024, still 2/3 of it behind the meterWhen looking at the operating BESS fleet in Europe, it remains ev dent that the cumulative capacity continues growing at an exponential pace. The battery storage base augmented by 56% in 20
