EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the seventh edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES).
The Market Monitor is based on the most extensive database of European energy storage projects. 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 database is accompanied by a report which outlines key EU legislation, drivers and barriers for 12 core countries. The report looks at the electrical energy storage market, providing data and analysis across 3 market segments (residential, commercial & industrial and Front of the Meter) with updated project data based on StoreTrack database and a forecast towards 2030.
Key takeaways from the EMMES 7.0:
Demand for storage is bigger than ever: about 4.5GW of new installations in 2022 and an even more positive outlook of > 6GW for 2023.
The European-wide energy crisis, national government support, growing Front of the Meter project development pipelines, and an overall positive future policy direction on a EU-level are accelerating this demand. At the same time the sector will have to face increasing challenges in the face of supply-chain constraints, grid connection bottlenecks, skilled workforce constraints and rising costs.
Great Britain and Germany are leading the market in Front of the Meter and Behind the Meter respectively, but with growing interest in Europe more countries will join them create a much more diverse deployment landscape by 2025.
Recording of the EMMES 7.0 launch webinar "How will the new electricity market design shape the energy storage sector?" is available here.
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.
