Germany Adds New Capacity ESS Installations from 2019 to 2024 The expansion of Europe’s energy storage installations has slowed, largely attributed to diminished demand. This trend is exemplified by Germany, the continent's premier energy storage market.
Currently, most large battery systems (Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS) are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Such batteries are favoured especially due to their long life cycle and simple operation. Furthermore, alternative battery technologies are still in development and therefore not yet ready for market launch.
According to Bloomberg NEF, a quarter of the residential photovoltaic (PV) systems installed across Europe in 2023 were equipped with energy storage systems. Notably, residential storage dominates the energy storage landscape in Germany, boasting the highest penetration rate of allocated storage systems at an impressive 78%.
Energy storage is the process of capturing the energy produced for use at a later time to reduce imbalances between energy demand and production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. The German energy storage market is segmented by type and application.
