How many energy storage projects are there in Europe?

There are 147 energy storage projects under construction in Europe, with a total capacity of 14 GW, according to the European Energy Storage Inventory, launched by the European Commission. The European Energy Storage Inventory comprises operational, under construction, permitted, and announced energy storage projects across Europe.

Why is energy storage important for the maritime industry?

The demand for green solutions in the maritime industry is driving an increased use of clean electrical power systems that utilise energy storage. The energy storage unit from KONGSBERG is specifically designed for demanding marine applications and optimised for both hybrid and pure electric vessels.

What is the European energy storage inventory?

A new interactive platform delivers real-time clean energy storage insights as Europe shifts toward sustainable energy sources. Energy storage helps to balance supply and demand. The European Energy Storage Inventory is the first of its kind at European level to show all forms of clean energy storage solutions.

How does a maritime energy storage system work?

The maritime energy storage system stores energy when demand is low, and delivers it back when demand increases, enhancing the performance of the vessel’s power plant. The flow of energy is controlled by ABB’s dynamic Energy Storage Control System.
