BRUSSELS (Belgium), Tuesday 11th June 2024: In 2023, the equivalent of 1.7 million more European homes became solar battery powered. According to the latest analysis from SolarPower Europe, 17.2 GWh of new BESS capacity was installed in Europe in 2023, experiencing an impressive 94% increase compared to 2022.
Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, said, "Growing battery storage and flexibility represents a fundamental shift from our current grid-centric view of the market. It impacts not only the way we plan infrastructure and the way we operate the system, but also the markets we engage with.
The new Electricity Market Design (EMD) legislation lays the groundwork for a more robust energy policy. We need to urgently implement these measures and call on the European Commission to report on the EMD implementation ahead of the first Energy Council in 2025."
In tandem with solar PV, growth was predominantly propelled by home batteries. In the wake of the energy crisis, European citizens turned to batteries to build their energy self-sufficiency. The residential segment led deployment with 70% of the annually installed BESS capacity, followed by large-scale battery systems at 21%, and commercial & industrial systems at 9%.
2023 marks the third consecutive year of doubling the annual market, with total battery storage capacity reaching 35.9 GWh by the end of 2023.
Germany maintained its position as the leading market, deploying 5.9 GWh last year and marking a significant increase of 152%. Italy closely followed, connecting a record-breaking 3.7 GWh (+86%), trailed by the United Kingdom with 2.7 GWh (+91%).
Antonio Arruebo, Market Analyst at SolarPower Europe said, "Over the past decade, decreasing investment costs for battery storage, driven by technological advancements, economies of scale, and lower raw material prices, have significantly enhanced the cost competitiveness of solar PV paired with battery storage. This combination already represents an optimal solution addressing our energy trilemma of security, sustainability, and affordability."
Nonetheless, with the severity of the fossil energy crisis reduced for now, the immediate incentive for European households to invest in self-sufficiency becomes less apparent. This shift may potentially diminish the appeal of solar and storage solutions.
Michael Schmela, Director of Market Intelligence at SolarPower Europe, said, "While policymakers have focused on batteries for electrifying the automotive industry, their critical role in the green transition of the European power system has been largely overlooked. Flexibility through battery storage isn''t solely a technical matter for regulators and standardisation bodies; it demands immediate political attention and prioritisation."
The growth of renewables is reliant on the adoption of clean flexibility sources like batteries, essential for transportation and heating electrification, as well as grid modernisation. SolarPower Europe is calling for a comprehensive EU electricity storage strategy and a target of 200 GW by 2030.

BRUSSELS – Europe is on the brink of an enormous surge in battery projects for the grid after a half-decade of stumbling without a clear strategy.
There could be a sevenfold increase to more than 50 gigawatts in capacity connected to transmission networks by 2030, according to power market analyst Aurora Energy Research. The UK, Italy and Ireland are the top three markets for storage investment within the region, with Spain and Greece emerging.
"Grid-scale battery building was already picking up in 2023 and is now increasing its speed," said Mr Ryan Alexander, lead researcher for European power markets at Aurora, which released its report on Feb 13.
As Europe rapidly expands its use of renewable energy to meet climate goals, batteries play a crucial role in the power market because they can store electricity when it is plentiful and discharge when it is scarce. Progress has been slow because many network operators do not procure services batteries can provide, such as firing up rapidly when the wind drops, and there are long waits for grid connections.
Batteries do not operate all the time like a conventional power station, so operators need contracts with the grid to provide services like balancing for frequency and voltage. An ancillary services market, where batteries can find multiple revenue streams, is crucial for investment and development.
"There isn''t an alternative technology that can respond as quickly as batteries," said Mr James Basden, co-founder of maker Zenobe Energy. "Net-zero doesn''t happen without batteries."
Some nations are backing them in a big way short-term. The UK is forecast to quintuple energy storage capacity by 2030 through auctions and accelerated battery connections to the network.
