READ MOREEurope set to hit 100 GW of energy storage, with more than 115% growth expected by 2030
The EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland together are expected to reach 100 GW of installed energy storage later this month, according to new analysis launched at the Enlit Europe conference by LCP Delta and Energy Storage Europe. This milestone represents enough capacity to meet the peak electricity demand of Germany and the Netherlands. With storage capacity forecast to grow by a further 115% by 2030, this will play a crucial role in Europe’s energy transition, creating more space for renewables on the grid.
