GUERNSEY could be using large grid-scale batteries to store energy as early as 2030 – despite the island''s draft electricity strategy stating they would not be ''cost optimal''.
In the process of formulating this roadmap, the stakeholders within the entire BATTERY 2030+ initiative have been engaged, comprising academia, RTOs and industry from 24 countries in
By 2030, the European battery storage market is expected to grow substantially, thanks to investments from the European Battery Alliance (EBA) and large-scale manufacturing facilities being established across Europe. Hydrogen Storage Market: Hydrogen storage is also emerging as a critical component in the EU’s energy transition strategy.
The success in recent capacity market auctions in Italy and the UK, as well as other European countries that are building large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) projects, signals that the European and UK regulatory environment is providing a degree of limited support to the technology.
This initiative supports the EU’s efforts to establish a circular battery economy, benefiting renewable energy storage by promoting more sustainable, long-lasting batteries. The EU is investing in smart grid projects to ensure smooth integration of energy storage with renewables.
Since 2019, the key development in the UK and broader European battery storage sector has been the introduction of battery storage into capacity market auctions. The UK’s T-4 Capacity Market auction awarded 1,093MW of battery storage contracts in February.
The UK’s T-4 Capacity Market auction awarded 1,093MW of battery storage contracts in February. Around 60% of battery storage had a two-hour or longer duration, similar to the UK T-4 2024-25 results (storage duration is the amount of time storage can discharge at its power capacity before depleting its energy capacity).
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global battery storage capacity as of 2021 was 4GW-8GW. Factoring in renewable targets, the IEA expects battery storage capacity will need to increase to 148GW by 2025 and 585GW by 2030.
