The latest edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage by LCP Delta and The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE), released today, highlights Europe's rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024.
Compared to classic renewables, energy storage has really only become an investable asset in Europe over the last few years on the back of technology advances, market price signals, and government support mechanisms.
For short-duration energy storage assets, there are really three key revenue streams for energy storage assets in Europe. The first one is capacity payments, which have become a broadly implemented policy measure by governments to support system reliability and incentivize the installation of certain new power asset types.
In March 2025, the Commission launched the European Energy Storage Inventory, a real-time dashboard that displays energy storage levels across different European countries. It is the first European-level tool of its kind and offers energy storage data across a full range of technologies.
It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport. The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped hydro' storage, but battery storage projects are rising. A variety of new technologies to store energy are also rapidly developing and becoming increasingly market-competitive.
The rate of energy storage adoption varied across European countries in 2024. Pumped-hydro storage (PHS): Italy, France, Germany, and Spain had the largest capacities. Residential electrochemical storage: Germany and Italy remained the top markets despite a slowdown.
