In focus: Supercharging the transition with energy storage
While renewable energy sources can''t be depleted in the same way as fossil fuels, they are ''variable'', meaning their availability fluctuates. That''s where energy storage solutions,

European Energy works actively to implement battery storage in our renewable energy projects. Our battery storage projects are primarily co-located, meaning a regular renewable energy park is combined with batteries on the same plot, sharing the same grid connection.
21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) was installed in Europe in 2024, marking the eleventh consecutive year of record breaking-installations, and bringing Europe’s total battery fleet to 61.1 GWh. However, the annual growth rate slowed down to 15% in 2024, after three consecutive years of doubling newly added capacity.
One solution to these challenges is Battery Energy Storage. Technology advancements, social needs and market demand are rapidly making batteries an attractive solution for decarbonising the European energy mix.
In order to deploy renewables and to release their potential for ensuring a stable and secure energy supply, Europe needs to work to overcome the intrinsic limits of renewables. One solution to these challenges is Battery Energy Storage.
