European Mobile Energy Storage Vehicles: Powering Europe''s
Mobile energy storage vehicles (MESVs) are emerging as the Swiss Army knife for grid flexibility. These truck-mounted battery systems combine lithium-ion technology with smart inverters,
The fleet of energy storage projects in Europe, including both pumped hydro and battery energy storage systems of all sizes, is expanding rapidly. This growth is set to continue at a strong pace through 2030, fueled by technological advancements, supportive policies, and other key factors.
Technological developments and market uptake have already had a positive impact on the storage sector: the costs of battery storage are down by 93% since 2010, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Pumped storage hydropower is the largest energy storage technology globally.
Germany continued to lead Europe's residential storage sector, adding over 510,000 new installations in 2024, even after a 10% decline, the LCP Delta and EASE find. However, according to Germany's Federal Association of Energy Storage Systems (BVES), the 2024 drop in the residential storage segment was much more pronounced, reaching as high as 40%.
Europe's current total operational power is around 66 GW, and planned projects mean this might double to 132 GW by 2035. According to findings from the inventory, Germany, Italy and Spain have the main relevant storage facilities among the member States.
