Italy is the most attractive European battery market, Aurora Energy Research has claimed, followed by Great Britain and Germany. The three leading markets are identified in the fourth edition of Aurora’s European Battery Markets Attractiveness Report, published March 3, 2025.
21.9 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) was installed in Europe in 2024, marking the eleventh consecutive year of record breaking-installations, and bringing Europe’s total battery fleet to 61.1 GWh. However, the annual growth rate slowed down to 15% in 2024, after three consecutive years of doubling newly added capacity.
The fourth edition battery markets report also predicts Europe’s grid-scale BESS fleet will reach 55 GW by 2030. From ESS News Italy is the most attractive European battery market, Aurora Energy Research has claimed, followed by Great Britain and Germany.
*In the European Market Outlook for Battery Storage, the Europe region refers to the EU-27 + the UK + Switzerland. Spain analysis from the report Last year Spain installed less than 250 MWh of batteries (14th biggest market in Europe 2024).
The recent electricity outage in the Iberian Peninsula is a stark reminder of why this is important.” The BESS market in Europe is set to grow faster in the next years, although not at the levels required. In the most-likely scenario for 2025, 29.7 GWh of battery storage will be installed in Europe, representing a 36% annual growth.
Germany maintained its leading role despite a drop in residential installations and the slow uptake of larger batteries. Italy’s home battery segment also decreased, but the large-scale segment’s capacity surge brought the market to new heights.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
