Europe currently has 913 energy storage facilities in operation, with a combined capacity of 67 GW. The predominant technology is mechanical storage (54.6 GW) with pumped storage hydropower plants. However, electrochemical storage, including lithium - ion and flow batteries, is catching up, at 11 GW.
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.
Because of water resources availability and tailored energy policies, Germany, Italy, and Spain accounted for the largest pumped hydro storage capacity in the region, ranging between over nine gigawatts in Germany and 5.6 gigawatts in Spain in 2023. Log in or register to access full data.
By far, the largest number of projects are located in the United Kingdom – 66 (6,2 GW). Italy is in second place (with 13 projects totaling 1.7 GW), followed by Germany (19 – 1.6 GW), according to the inventory. European Energy Storage Inventory – projects under construction by country
