How many energy storage projects are there in Europe?

The database of over 2,600 projects includes detailed data on current installations by customer segment (residential, C&I and front-of-meter) across 24 European countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030. The Market Monitor is based on the most extensive database of European energy storage projects.

What is the future of energy storage in Europe?

The European energy storage market contracted in 2019 to 1 GWh, with a cumulative installed base of 3.4 GWh across all segments. However, the future of energy storage in 2020 in Europe remains positive as the energy transition progresses.

What is the market monitor?

The Market Monitor is an interactive database that tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects. With information on assets in over 29 countries, it is the largest and most detailed archive of European storage. The database is accompanied by a report which outlines key EU legislation, drivers and barriers for 14 core countries.

What is the European storage database?

With information on assets in over 29 countries, it is the largest and most detailed archive of European storage. While the report is focused on electrical storage, the database holds project information for multiple other storage technologies (e.g. pumped hydro, CAES, gravity, large-scale thermal etc).

What is energy storage research?

This research is part of our Energy Storage Research Service which provides insight into key markets, competitors and issues shaping the sector. The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE), established in 2011, is the leading member-supported association representing organisations active across the entire energy storage value chain.

What is the growth rate of electrical energy storage in Europe?

The electrical energy storage capacity annually installed grew by 49% between 2016 and 2017 in Europe, which is a steady growth rate since 2015. In 2018 it is expected to grow at a similar rate (45%) with the level of new installations accelerating.
