Years of strong solar growth and high gas prices have increased electricity price volatility across the EU, strengthening opportunities for battery storage. In turn, batteries can increase power demand at peak solar times, supporting solar revenues.
These developments are propelling the market for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery storage is an essential enabler of renewable-energy generation, helping alternatives make a steady contribution to the world’s energy needs despite the inherently intermittent character of the underlying sources.
Utility-scale battery storage systems in Bulgaria – combined with a solar park. Large battery storage systems are becoming more and more popular in Europe. Important reasons for this are the increasing demand for grid stabilization services and the shifting of peak loads. Italy and Great Britain are ahead of the game.
The opportunity is particularly clear for pairing solar with battery storage, taking advantage of their mutually reinforcing business cases. Years of strong solar growth and high gas prices have increased electricity price volatility across the EU, strengthening opportunities for battery storage.
It is crucial to determine whether the collected batteries satisfy the prerequisites for storage of solar energy. Hence, it is necessary to formulate a standardized framework that outlines the performance specifications of repurposed batteries for storage of solar energy. This framework emphasizes on battery management and health status evaluation.
Not only in Germany, but throughout Europe, battery storage systems are booming as a result of the energy transition. According to SolarPower Europe, battery storage systems with a capacity of 17.2 GWh were installed in 2023, almost twice as much as in the previous year. The total installed capacity in Europe was 35.8 GWh.
