The German market is currently very attractive for investments in large-scale battery storage systems. Therefore, we work together with our customers and partners on the successful implementation of our projects, thus creating the Basis for future-proof and sustainable value creation.
More likely, however, is a potential of over 200 GWh. The annual growth rate of newly installed battery storage systems is estimated at 40 to 50 percent. Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom continue to lead the European battery storage market in 2025 and together account for almost 70 percent of newly installed annual capacity.
Battery storage capacity in Europe is expected to expand significantly in 2025. Newly installed capacity is set to increase to 29.7 GWh – a rise of 36 percent compared to 2024. Market shares, in turn, are shifting significantly.
Intelligent control systems, the increasing use of AI and machine learning, and new innovative developments in battery storage technology are also driving the use of storage systems. One thing is clear – the market for large-scale battery storage systems in Germany is promising and will only grow in the future.
In 2025, large-scale storage systems are predicted to become the driving force behind the European market and could trigger average annual growth of around 40 percent. Further acceleration in market growth is projected by 2029. Depending on the scenario, the annual new installations could reach the following capacities:
Large battery storage systems support the energy transition in Germany, as they store electricity from renewable energy sources and make it more efficiently usable. This increases the share of green electricity in gross consumption and reduces the likelihood of having to resort to emergency power from fossil fuels during peak demand periods.
