4 FAQs about European energy storage solar

What is energy storage Europe?

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.

How does solar power affect battery storage in the EU?

Years of strong solar growth and high gas prices have increased electricity price volatility across the EU, strengthening opportunities for battery storage. In turn, batteries can increase power demand at peak solar times, supporting solar revenues.

How does energy storage work in the EU?

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.

Is energy storage a good investment in Europe?

Compared to classic renewables, energy storage has really only become an investable asset in Europe over the last few years on the back of technology advances, market price signals, and government support mechanisms.
