New report: EU installs 27.1 GWh of new batteries in 2025 as
27.1 GWh of new battery capacity installed in 2025, marking the EU''s 12th consecutive record year for battery storage deployment. 55% of all new capacity came from utility-scale systems,
Together, solar and battery storage account for 81% of the expected total capacity additions, with solar making up over 50% of the increase. Solar. In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year.
BloombergNEF forecasts a record 94 GW (247 GWh) of utility-scale storage in 2025—a 35% rise—driven by China's storage mandates. US tariffs, policy shifts and LFP dominance will drive growth to 220 GW/972 GWh by 2035. The global energy storage sector is on track for another record year in 2025 as utility-scale projects expand into new regions.
Solar. In 2024, generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with 32.5 GW of new utility-scale solar capacity to be added.
Battery storage. In 2025, capacity growth from battery storage could set a record as we expect 18.2 GW of utility-scale battery storage to be added to the grid. U.S. battery storage already achieved record growth in 2024 when power providers added 10.3 GW of new battery storage capacity.

The EU installed 27.1 GWh of new battery storage capacity in 2025, a new record year powered by strong utility-scale deployment, according to SolarPower Europe.
The Solar Storage Boom: Why Everyone''s Talking About Batteries Now Let''s cut to the chase – 2025 is shaping up to be the year solar energy storage goes from “nice-to-have” to “can''t
The EU installed a record 27.1 GWh of new battery storage capacity in 2025, driven by utility-scale projects that accounted for over half of new additions as the bloc races to build the
Commercial and industrial battery systems grew modestly but remain a smaller segment of the market. The report also examines the state of EU battery manufacturing, noting that Europe
The report projects a 36 percent growth in 2025, reaching 29.7 GWh, with a six-fold increase by 2029 to 120 GWh, though still below the 780 GWh needed by 2030 to support a fully
In 2024, power providers added a record 10.3 GW of new battery storage capacity and EIA projects this growth could almost double to an addition of 18.2 GW in 2025. The rest of the
BloombergNEF forecasts 94 GW (247 GWh) of utility-scale battery storage in 2025, driven by China''s mandates, US tariffs and LFP chemistry trends.
All capacity data—including solar capacity—in this report is reported in MWac, not MWdc. This enables comparison across technologies (e.g. solar, wind, batteries, gas turbines, etc).
We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U.S. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory
