European Energy Storage Power Generation Projects

How is the EU advancing energy storage technologies?

The EU is advancing several key projects and initiatives in the energy storage field to boost renewable energy integration, stabilize the grid, and support clean energy goals. These initiatives and projects highlight the EU’s commitment to advancing energy storage technologies and integrating renewables into the energy grid.

What is the European energy storage inventory?

The European Energy Storage Inventory, developed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, is a new interactive platform that maps and analyzes over 1771 energy storage projects across Europe.

What are Europe's next-generation storage technologies?

Research institutions across Europe are developing next-generation storage technologies, including advanced flow batteries, compressed air energy storage, and hydrogen-based systems.

What are EU energy storage initiatives?

EU energy storage initiatives are a key part of advancing energy security and the transition toward a carbon-neutral economy, improving energy efficiency, and integrating renewable energy sources into electricity systems, and can play an integral role in balancing power grids and saving surplus energy.

Why is European energy storage important?

This is particularly important in the context of EU energy security and the transition away from fossil fuels for both environmental and geopolitical reasons. To help track this growing industry, the European Union has created a comprehensive database of the European energy storage technologies and facilities.

Is Europe ready for energy storage?

“Europe is expected to deploy over 90 GWh of utility-scale battery energy storage projects by 2030, and we are well-positioned to support this demand along with the wider EMEA [Europe, Middle East, and Africa] region’s rapid energy storage growth.”
