2024 was a record year for deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS). We predict even higher implementation in 2025. A marked increase in the availability and use of second life batteries within the energy storage sector with EV manufacturers seeking to maximise the value of batteries.
Battery storage can help with frequency stability and control for short-term needs, and they can help with energy management or reserves for long-term needs. Storage can be employed in addition to primary generation since it allows for the production of energy during off-peak hours, which can then be stored as reserve power.
21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) was installed in Europe in 2024, marking the eleventh consecutive year of record breaking-installations, and bringing Europe's total battery fleet to 61.1 GWh. However, the annual growth rate slowed down to 15% in 2024, after three consecutive years of doubling newly added capacity.
As the adoption of renewables continues to grow exponentially, battery energy storage will play an increasing role in underpinning energy security – either through increasing capacity to reduce grid upgrade requirements or by time-shifting energy. This will help reduce reliance on energy imports.
This year the battery energy storage industry is poised for further innovation, Connected Energy explores the key themes that we expect to see in 2025. The demand for clean energy is soaring across the globe, fuelled by ambitious net-zero goals, increasing renewable energy adoption, and the transition to electric vehicles.
In conclusion, this review highlights the critical importance of rethinking battery technology development to meet the dual imperatives of decarbonizing transportation and stabilizing renewable energy grids.
