4 FAQs about Western European solar power station energy storage regulations

Should energy storage be regulated in Europe?

As renewable energy continues to expand in Europe, energy storage must keep pace to ensure the grid remains flexible and stable. The Energy Storage Coalition urges the European Commission to develop an Action Plan on Energy Storage, providing much-needed regulatory clarity and supporting Member States in scaling up energy storage capacity.

What is the European Commission doing about energy storage?

The European Commission in 2020 published a study on energy storage, which summarized some previous studies and reports, explored current and potential energy storage markets in Europe, and set out policy and regulatory recommendations for energy storage.

What is Energy Storage Regulation (EU) 2019/943?

Electricity Regulation (EU) 2019/943: Sets market rules that encourage the use of energy storage to maintain grid stability, creating a dynamic environment where storage can compete on a level playing field. 2. Battery Regulation

How many battery energy storage systems were installed in Europe in 2024?

21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) was installed in Europe in 2024, marking the eleventh consecutive year of record breaking-installations, and bringing Europe's total battery fleet to 61.1 GWh. However, the annual growth rate slowed down to 15% in 2024, after three consecutive years of doubling newly added capacity.
