EU will not meet its 2030 clean energy targets unless cumulative battery storage deployments rapidly accelerate, SolarPower Europe has said.

Europe breaking battery storage deployment records, but more still needs to be done to accelerate uptake, according to SolarPower Europe.

Europe’s annual battery storage deployments doubled in 2023, but the pace of adoption is still much slower than required, according to SolarPower Europe.

SolarPower Europe is calling on the European Commission (EC) to address both solar power and energy storage in its upcoming Energy Union Package. In light of this, the association’s Task Force on solar & storage has created 10 policy priorities that will need to be considered to develop an appropriate framework for those technologies.
