What is energy storage Europe?

EASE will now be known as the Energy Storage Europe association, with a new identity designed to give the sector a stronger visibility. This transformation marks a significant milestone as the association approaches its 15 th anniversary and reflects the central role that energy storage now plays in Europe’s energy future.

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.

Which energy storage technology is the most popular in Europe?

Pumped hydro is the most widely used technology for energy storage in Europe and worldwide, but batteries and hydrogen have come into the spotlight over the last decade as a recent trend in the energy storage market.

How many energy storage projects are there in Europe?

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.
