European renewable energy and battery storage expansion
Overview
The European energy landscape is undergoing a rapid transition toward renewable integration, driven by massive investments in battery energy storage systems (BESS) and grid infrastructure. In 2025, Europe’s cumulative battery capacity surpassed 100 GWh, with utility-scale installations leading growth in Germany, the UK, and Italy.
National efforts to stabilize grids are widespread. Romania is aggressively expanding its storage capacity through EU-funded schemes and large-scale projects like the Gura Ialomiței BESS. Greece is targeting 6.8 GW of storage by 2030, supported by substation upgrades and interconnection projects. Poland is seeing a surge in large-scale BESS, including major projects by Greenvolt Power in Siedlce and Turośń Kościelna.
Recent developments highlight significant scaling in Central and Eastern Europe. Greenvolt Group secured a €218 million financing package from UniCredit to support the Ełk and Turośń projects in Poland, which have a combined capacity of 400MW/1.6GWh. The Turośń project entered commercial operations in July 2026, while Ełk is expected to be operational by late 2026. Furthermore, Greenvolt has commenced construction on a 600 MW / 2.4 GWh BESS in Siedlce, which is positioned to become the largest facility in Poland and one of the largest in Europe by late 2027. Other regional activity includes the acquisition of the 40 MW / 160 MWh Wolborz BESS in Poland by Gore Street Capital, and the commencement of construction on a 140 MW / 327 MWh BESS in Ayltus, Lithuania.
Technological advancements and regional expansion continue, with projects emerging in Finland and Lithuania, alongside the use of AI to optimize solar-plus-storage hybrid systems.
