Energy Storage Europe Association reply to ENTSO-E’s Public Consultation on the 10-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) calls for a more balanced consideration of energy storage technologies and a clearer breakdown of the economic impacts and costs of proposed scenarios.
March 2025 / Market Analyses
EMMES 9.0 - March 2025
The ninth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES) by the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) and LCP Delta, is now available, highlighting Europe's rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024. The report also projects continued strong growth through 2030, driven by technological advancements, policy support, and other key factors.
The Market Monitor is an interactive database that tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects. With information on assets from over 27 countries, making it the most comprehensive archive of European storage. The database is continuously updated, with the latest project data accessible online via the StoreTrack dashboard, featuring forecasts extending to 2030. Covering all storage technologies, this edition introduces fully revamped datasets for battery storage, thermal energy storage, and pumped hydro storage.
Accompanying the database is a detailed report offering in-depth market and policy analysis for 15 core countries. The report provides insights into the energy storage landscape, with data and analysis across 3 market segments: residential, commercial & industrial, and utility-scale storage.
Key takeaways from the EMMES 9.0:
2024 has been a record year for energy storage deployment.
89 GW of energy storage capacity is currently installed across various technologies in Europe.
In 2024, new installations led to 60% MW/ 280% MWh increase in Front-of-the-Meter storage capacity.
By 2030, an additional 128 GW / 300 GWh of electrochemical storage is projected to be added to European grids.
Co-location with renewables is on the rise, with strong capacity growth expected by 2030.

Energy Storage Europe has prepared a reply to the European Commission's public consultation on TYNDP 2026 Identification of System Needs Methodology. The European Commission’s public consultation seeks feedback on the analytical framework used by ENTSO-E to identify cost-efficient and technically robust opportunities for the development of Europe’s electricity system, without prescribing specific investment decisions.
In 2025, the energy storage sector experienced significant growth, driven by strong market expansion and evolving EU policy developments. Europe reached the milestone of 100 GW of installed capacity, highlighting the increasing importance of storage in the energy transition.
Energy Storage Europe replies to the European Commission’s public consultation on the Battery Booster Facility. On 16 December 2025, the European Commission announced a Battery Booster Strategy, within the Automotive Action Plan. The Strategy includes a Facility of EUR 1.5 billion in the form of loans for projects in the production of battery cells in Europe.
Energy Storage Europe's position paper, "Ensuring System Stability in Europe: The Role of Energy Storage in Providing Inertia", focuses on how the EU can implement a cost-effective and technologically neutral approach to procuring inertia. It also outlines how such an approach can be firmly embedded within a harmonised European methodology for assessing and monitoring inertia needs across synchronous areas.
