ecomendationsHow can European policymakers help the battery storage sectorBattery storage systems are essential for strengthening the EU's energy security and competitiveness by enhancing flexibility, providing ancillary services to secure the grid, maximising the use of renewable energy, and effectively dealing with energy pr
According to a July 2024 study by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE), the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) for solar parks in Germany ranges between 4.1 and 6.9 euro cents per kilowatt-hour. For combined ground-mounted PV systems with battery storage, the LCOE is between 6.0 and 10.8 cents per kilowatt-hour.
According to Aurora Energy Research, the actual increase in profitability (IRR) currently achievable by combining a solar power plant with a battery storage system in key European markets ranges from one to just over two percent. The IRRs of standalone solar parks were compared with those of projects co-located with battery storage.
grid services have made the UK the most attractive hybrid market in Europe. Outside the UK, key markets include Sweden (10% of the hybrid P +BESS capacity), Italy (8%), Germany (6%), Bulgaria (6%), and Denmark (5%). The remaining EU-27 countries and Switzerland collectively represent only 3% of installed capacity, highli
