EMMES 5.0 - March 2021
EASE and Delta-ee are pleased to announce the publication of the fifth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES).
The report reveals the effects of the pandemic on the energy storage market, with lockdown affecting commercial and industrial, and behind-the-meter segments, while front-of-meter projects proved more resilient. Looking ahead, 2021 looks particularly strong for the sector with new ancillary services opening across Europe and national targets further supporting regional projects.
EMMES 5.0 shows that:
The European annual energy storage market grew to 1.7 GWh in 2020, with a cumulative installed base of 5.4 GWh across all segments.
The total annual energy storage market in Europe is expected to reach 3,000 MWh in 2021, almost double the annual storage deployments seen in 2020.
