March 2025 / Market Analyses
EMMES 9.0 - March 2025
The ninth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES) by the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) and LCP Delta, is now available, highlighting Europe's rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024. The report also projects continued strong growth through 2030, driven by technological advancements, policy support, and other key factors.
The Market Monitor is an interactive database that tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects. With information on assets from over 27 countries, making it the most comprehensive archive of European storage. The database is continuously updated, with the latest project data accessible online via the StoreTrack dashboard, featuring forecasts extending to 2030. Covering all storage technologies, this edition introduces fully revamped datasets for battery storage, thermal energy storage, and pumped hydro storage.
Accompanying the database is a detailed report offering in-depth market and policy analysis for 15 core countries. The report provides insights into the energy storage landscape, with data and analysis across 3 market segments: residential, commercial & industrial, and utility-scale storage.
Key takeaways from the EMMES 9.0:
2024 has been a record year for energy storage deployment.
89 GW of energy storage capacity is currently installed across various technologies in Europe.
In 2024, new installations led to 60% MW/ 280% MWh increase in Front-of-the-Meter storage capacity.
By 2030, an additional 128 GW / 300 GWh of electrochemical storage is projected to be added to European grids.
Co-location with renewables is on the rise, with strong capacity growth expected by 2030.

On 27 May 2025, over 200 participants attended the webinar on the "EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems". The Guidelines are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe.
EASE has prepared a position paper with suggested amendments to the Draft Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF), initially submitted as a response to the Public Consultation to the Commission seeking the views of relevant stakeholders on a draft for this framework.
The EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe. These guidelines aim to assist developers, manufacturers, service providers, and all stakeholders in the value chain—including relevant authorities, first responders, and permitting bodies—in implementing safety practices that align with regulatory requirements and technical standards.
