Energiespeicherplan 2023

The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a staff working document, providing an outlook of the EU''s

What is a 2023 report on energy storage?

The 2023 report included dedicated sections on renewable hydrogen production through water electrolysis, and batteries, which are crucial to succeed in the decarbonisation of the energy and transport sectors. A Commission Recommendation on energy storage (C/2023/1729) was adopted in March 2023.

How big will energy storage be in the EU in 2026?

Looking forward, the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects global installed storage capacity to expand by 56% in the next 5 years to reach over 270 GW by 2026. Different studies have analysed the likely future paths for the deployment of energy storage in the EU.

What is a commission recommendation on energy storage (c/2023/1729)?

A Commission Recommendation on energy storage (C/2023/1729) was adopted in March 2023. It addresses the most important issues contributing to the broader deployment of energy storage.

How much energy storage will Europe have in 2022?

Many European energy-storage markets are growing strongly, with 2.8 GW (3.3 GWh) of utility-scale energy storage newly deployed in 2022, giving an estimated total of more than 9 GWh. Looking forward, the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects global installed storage capacity to expand by 56% in the next 5 years to reach over 270 GW by 2026.

How many GW of energy storage will Europe have in 2050?

Different studies have analysed the likely future paths for the deployment of energy storage in the EU. These studies point to more than 200 GW and 600 GW of energy storage capacity by 2030 and 2050 respectively (from roughly 60 GW in 2022, mainly in the form of pumped hydro storage).

What does SWD 2023/57 mean for storage?

The Recommendation was accompanied by a Staff Working Document (SWD/2023/57) which looked at the role and application of storage in the energy transition, emphasising the need for flexibility, reliability and stability. It also provided some global outlook for storage deployment and an overview of best practices.
