The European Union added 27. 1 GWh of battery energy storage capacity in 2025, with utility-scale systems accounting for the majority of new installations as residential storage declined amid lower electricity prices and reduced support schemes, according to a new report from. . The European Union added 27. From. . The EU's battery energy storage fleet has grown for the 12th consecutive year, marking yet another record year for new installations. According to a new report from SolarPower Europe (SPE), 27. 1 GWh were deployed in 2025, a 45% year-on-year growth, mostly powered by utility-scale systems. This. . allation record, we also witnessed a substantial slowdown in market growth. While we anticipate demand to regain momentum in 2025, much will depend on policymakers implementing the right tool to unlock the immense potential of this strategically critical technology. C&I storage grew 31% while residential declined 6%.
