Large energy storage in Central and Eastern Europe may
Energy storage installations are rising in Central and Eastern Europe, with the source-grid-side battery market rapidly growing. PV Europe predicts a fivefold market
Europe relies on solar photovoltaic (PV) as one of the main energy sources in its climate roadmap. Europe has been a pioneer and leader in PV production, and the installation targets are continually increasing via Renewable Energy Directive revisions.
Eastern Europe indeed represents a promising market with untapped potential in solar energy deployment, given its early-stage market development. Solar energy, being highly competitive and increasingly cost-effective, is expected to play a key role in the region's energy future.
Eastern Europe is set to be pivotal in the solar industry, given its cost advantages and growth potential. Solar's affordability and accessibility make it ideal for achieving the region's decarbonisation targets. Already, we see substantial project development across the Baltics, Balkans, Bulgaria, Romania and other areas.
Europe's share in the global production market of PV panels fell from over 30% in 2010 to less than 5% today. The European region still has several production sites located in industrial clusters, offering logistical advantages and proximity to customers.
The European Union (EU) is not willing to build its energy future on products without ensuring their continued reliability and availability. One of the main enablers, a pillar of the US strategy of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), is to reshore a strategic share of PV manufacturing capacities.
