The European Energy Storage Inventory: A comprehensive
This innovative tool systematically catalogizes all energy storage projects within Europe, from the first planning phase to operational operation.
Particularly noteworthy is the ambitious project in Alfeld (Lower Saxony), which is considered the largest approved storage project in Europe with a performance of 137.5 megawatts and a storage capacity of 275 megawatt hours.
The European Energy Storage Inventory provides impressive figures on the current state of energy storage capacities in Europe. According to the platform, 905 projects with a total output of 66 gigawatts are currently in operation.
Countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Portugal have either increased their renewable energy ambitions or moved their initial targets earlier. This will increase the demand for battery energy storage systems during the forecasted period.
The market for EV batteries significantly surpasses that for stationary storage, with EVs accounting for more than 80 percent of global demand for li-ion batteries 2. EVs have grown to an important global market, accounting for 19 percent of automobile sales in 2024 worldwide (Figure 1).
