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.
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.
Energy Storage Europe Association is actively shaping the legal and R&D funding framework for energy storage at EU level. Members gain direct influence in the European decision-making process. Members benefit from the Energy Storage Europe Association's expertise and technical know-how, and they can participate in EU-funded research projects.
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.
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.
The latest edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage by LCP Delta and The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE), released today, highlights Europe's rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024.
The EMMES 9.0 data highlights significant growth in the energy storage sector: increased deployment rates, larger energy storage systems, and a rising trend of co-locating storage projects with renewables.
