View more4 FAQs about EU solar Energy Storage Power Supply
How many battery energy storage systems are there in Europe?
The EU currently has just over 50 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS). To stay on track for the 2030 renewables targets, this must increase to between 500 and 780 GWh. Our core asks: 10X more battery storage in 5 years.” Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, mentioned, “Solar and storage are the perfect pair.
Will Solarpower Europe deploy 780gwh of battery storage?
Despite this surge, SolarPower Europe said the continent is not on track to deploy the 780GWh of battery storage it claimed will be needed to ensure flexibility, reliability and decarbonisation of the energy sector in line with policy targets by 2030.
