EUPD Research projects annual battery storage installations across Europe, including the EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway and Ukraine, will rise from 34 GWh in 2025 to 65 GWh in 2026. Utility-scale projects are expected to account for about 44 GWh, while residential installations reach roughly 15 GWh, as renewable growth, electricity costs and policy support boost demand; the report also finds competition intensifying among residential suppliers.
