Building a Structural and Integrated “Energy
Whether it''s grid-side storage in Germany, capacity market projects in the UK, or solar-plus-storage systems under construction in
There are 147 energy storage projects under construction in Europe, with a total capacity of 14 GW, according to the European Energy Storage Inventory, launched by the European Commission. The European Energy Storage Inventory comprises operational, under construction, permitted, and announced energy storage projects across Europe.
The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped storage hydropower', which works by pumping water into reservoirs when there is an electricity surplus in the grid - for example on a sunny or windy day - and releasing it when more energy is needed.

Regarding some of the Member States where services are offered and the data available in the European energy storage inventory, we can mention as examples that energy trading and ancillary services are the main applications for the German market but for Belgium or Poland capacity is the main application. Table 4.
European energy storage inventory . With the common target of 20 % renewable energy use by 2020 and 42.5 % by 2030, many Member States have introduced economic support programmes for renewable generation. In this context, PSH systems could facilitate their expansion.
