Energy storage in Europe

A new interactive platform—the European Energy Storage Inventory —has been launched to provide near real-time insights into energy storage deployment across the EU, marking a major step toward a smarter and more sustainable energy system.
Developed as part of the REPowerEU Plan, the platform is the first at European level to map all forms of clean energy storage technologies. It offers a comprehensive view of the continent's storage infrastructure—from pumped hydro and battery systems to emerging technologies like hydrogen and thermal storage.
However, despite an exponential growth in Europe's battery energy storage capacity, which reached 36 gigawatt-hours in 2023, pumped hydro still accounted for 90 percent of the electricity storage capacity in the European Union that year.
The process leading to the final package included a call for evidence and an open public consultation which were open from 13 May to 5 August 2025. The European Grids Package aims to address the key challenges for cross-border energy infrastructure in the EU.
