The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
The complexity of grid connection requirements varies significantly based on location and local regulations, with costs ranging from €50,000 to €200,000 per MW of capacity. System integration expenses cover the sophisticated control systems, energy management software, and monitoring equipment essential for optimal battery performance.
For the solar PV, the objective is to reach an installed capacity of 3,6 GWp installed and an annual growth close to 205 MWp. In Brussels, the objective is to produce 91 GWh of solar electricity at the end of 2020 which means a growth of approximatively 17 GWh a year (18 MWp) which is more than tripling the installation rhythm of 2017.
With the falling costs of solar PV and wind power technologies, the focus is increasingly moving to the next stage of the energy transition and an energy systems approach, where energy storage can help integrate higher shares of solar and wind power.
