Improved market conditions and better policy frameworks enabled large scale projects to reach record levels.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While behind-the-meter storage continues to play a vital role, residential batteries declined for the second consecutive year, falling by 6% to 9.8 GWh, largely due to lower electricity prices and reduced support schemes. Commercial and industrial battery systems grew modestly but remain a smaller segment of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SolarPowerEurope_Battery02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SolarPowerEurope_Battery02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112362\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.7152930665900896;width:584px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SolarPowerEurope_Battery02.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SolarPowerEurope_Battery02-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sonnenseite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/SolarPowerEurope_Battery02-768x448.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe (she\/her), said:&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cEurope\u2019s battery storage market is growing fast and delivering the flexible capacity our energy system urgently needs. The strong uptake of utility-scale batteries in 2025 shows investors are ready, the technology is mature, and the system benefits are clear. But we must now dramatically accelerate deployment.

While the EU shows strong capabilities in electrolyte and separator production, cathode and anode active material manufacturing remains limited, and over 90% of existing cell capacity is geared toward electric vehicles rather than stationary storage. Project postponements and relatively high production costs continue to challenge competitiveness, underscoring the need for a more resilient and fully integrated European battery value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The report sets out three priority areas for EU action to scale battery storage effectively:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Accelerate deployment of BESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Simplify and speed up permitting for storage and hybrid projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prioritise mature, grid\u2011friendly projects in connection queues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fix tariff barriers\u00a0and enable fair access to all power markets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Build affordable and resilient supply chains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support EU battery manufacturing through targeted investment and innovation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthen access to critical raw materials and scale recycling capacity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop strategic global partnerships to diversify supply.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Strengthen quality, safety and sustainability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Harmonise EU\u2011wide safety standards and incident reporting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve rules for recycling and second\u2011life batteries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Implement robust carbon\u2011footprint disclosure across the battery value chain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Antonio Arruebo, Lead Author of the report and Market Analyst at SolarPower Europe (he\/him) said:<\/strong> \u201cThis year\u2019s data shows that the EU storage market is picking up speed again, particularly in large scale systems. At the same time, the decline in distributed batteries reminds us that we still need clearer policy support to unlock more investments for businesses and households. EU battery manufacturing has made significant progress over the past years, but uncertainty remains. Batteries remain renewables\u2019 best allies, essential to integrate clean power, stabilise the system and deliver Europe\u2019s energy transition. Looking ahead, accelerating deployment across all segments will be key to meeting Europe\u2019s goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the data featured in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowereurope.org\/insights\/outlooks\/eu-battery-storage-market-review-2025-1\">EU Battery Storage Market Review 2025<\/a><\/em> is now available for download on SolarPower Europe&#8217;s new <a href=\"https:\/\/database.solarpowereurope.org\/\">Market and Policy Navigator<\/a>, your go-to hub for trusted solar and storage insights.
