The EU’s commitment to expanding renewable energy capacity is driving demand for storage systems to balance intermittent sources like wind and solar and the need to stabilize a continuously expanding grid.
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.
As of March 2021, there were over 300,000 residential battery systems in the country, with a majority of these connected to solar energy. With more than 58.4 GW of solar capacity and more than 63.7 GW of wind energy capacity in 2021, the requirement for a storage system is expected to grow during the forecast period.
We expect to see battery storage prices continue to decline in 2025, even as raw material prices rise, due to the oversupply of battery production. The rapid growth of battery manufacturing, particularly in China and Europe, has outpaced demand, which is exerting downward pressure on pricing.
With a 72.3% market share, lithium-ion batteries dominate grid scale BESS applications and are set to remain the top choice for future needs. Germany led the European BESS market in 2023, with a 34% share, followed by Italy at 22% and the UK at 15%.
By ensuring energy resilience, reliability, and sustainability, BESS aligns with Germany’s vision for a carbon-neutral future and sets a benchmark for the global energy transition. Enabling Germany's Energy Transition requires an economically sustainable model to attract necessary private capital.
