What are the key market trends for battery storage?

It covers key market trends, with a particular focus on the shift toward utility-scale storage, the continuing growth of residential and commercial installations, and the evolving role of battery storage in supporting Europe's clean energy goals.

What is the European market outlook for battery storage?

SolarPower Europe has published its new "European Market Outlook for Battery Storage", covering 2024-2028. The study delves into the specifics of the residential, C&I and utility-scale battery segments across the leading European markets.

Should battery storage be a secondary consideration in energy planning?

Storage is no longer a secondary consideration in energy planning. It is now essential to determine how far and how fast the power system can decarbonise. To maximise the impact of battery storage, future planning must ensure close alignment between deployment, grid integration, and market design.

How big is the battery storage market?

This brought the total installed battery storage fleet to around 36 GWh by the end of the year. Such growth underscores how far the market has come, with adoption accelerating in multiple segments from residential systems to utility-scale batteries.

What are the key challenges facing battery storage?

It also outlines the key challenges facing the sector, including underdeveloped frameworks and barriers to investment. The study concludes with five policy recommendations designed to accelerate battery storage deployment and ensure energy systems are prepared to integrate high levels of renewable energy.

What is the future of battery storage?

Batteries account for 90% of the increase in storage in the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario, rising 14-fold to 1 200 GW by 2030. This includes both utility-scale and behind-the-meter battery storage. Other storage technologies include pumped hydro, compressed air, flywheels and thermal storage.
