EMMES 2.0 - June 2018
EASE and Delta-ee are pleased to announce the publication of the second edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES).
EMMES 2.0 shows that:
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 2018it is expected to grow at a similar rate (45%) with the level of new installations accelerating
The total installed base in Europe (excluding pumped hydro) reached 1.6 GWh at end of 2017
Germany and UK remain the most important markets for grid scale projects
Italy is emerging as a rapidly growing market for residential electrical energy storage but Germany remains a clear leader.

Energy Storage Europe replies to the European Commission’s public consultation on the Methodology for the Calculation of the recycled content of industrial and EV batteries. Under the Batteries Regulation, several categories of batteries, including industrial batteries, will have to contain a certain percentage of recycled metals to be allowed to be placed on the EU market.
Energy Storage Europe welcomes the proposed revision of the Network Code for generators and the explicit integration of storage, including grid-forming capabilities. Further clarity is needed on requirements for bidirectional storage and the treatment of existing projects.
In 2025, Europe surpassed 100 GW of installed storage capacity for the first time, and by Q2 2026 storage overtook nuclear as a source of installed power capacity. With electrochemical storage forecast to grow by a further 153 GW by 2030, energy storage is becoming a core pillar of Europe's future electricity system.
