Technical FAQs 4

How does energy storage work in the EU?

The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped storage hydropower', which works by pumping water into reservoirs when there is an electricity surplus in the grid - for example on a sunny or windy day - and releasing it when more energy is needed.

What is the European energy storage inventory?

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.

How many battery energy storage systems did Europe1 install in 2024?

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.

What percentage of Europe's energy storage capacity is pumped hydro?

However, despite an exponential growth in Europe’s battery energy storage capacity, which reached 36 gigawatt-hours in 2023, pumped hydro still accounted for 90 percent of the electricity storage capacity in the European Union that year.
