Electricity storage in France
Number of pumped storage power stations (STEP) and installed battery storage capacity in France, presented by RTE.
France had 90MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 359MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in France, according to GlobalData's power database. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of the global energy storage segment.
Global energy storage capacity was estimated to have reached 36,735MW by the end of 2022 and is forecasted to grow to 353,880MW by 2030. France had 90MW of capacity in 2022 and this is expected to rise to 359MW by 2030. Listed below are the five largest energy storage projects by capacity in France, according to GlobalData's power database.
French power production continues to change in 2022 and 2023, driven by the growth in renewable energy sources. This graph represents the evolution of the French energy mix, with a view to the evolution of installed generation capacity in France, overall and by technology.
Energy storage helps balance supply and demand by storing surplus energy for use during low-production times, maintaining consistent energy delivery despite renewable generation variation. It supports grid stability through rapid-response backup systems that regulate frequency and voltage, essential for renewable energy networks.
