In 2024, Europe¹ installed 21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS), marking the eleventh year of record-breaking annual additions since 2013, when our records began. The latest additions take the total running European battery fleet to 61.1 GWh at the end of 2024.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
Narrowing the scope to the European Union (EU), 18.5 GWh of BESS were installed across the bloc in 2024, equivalent to 85% of existing installations on the continent. As consequence, EU total operating battery storage capacity reached 49.1 GWh at the end of 2024.
Small-scale lithium-ion residential battery systems in the German market suggest that between 2014 and 2020, battery energy storage systems (BESS) prices fell by 71%, to USD 776/kWh.
