The EU recorded 27.1 GWh of battery capacity in 2025, marking a 12th consecutive record, with Bulgaria achieving the fastest growth, nearly 13 times higher than 2024. Utility-scale systems accounted for 55% of the new capacity. Residential battery growth declined due to lower electricity prices and reduced support. The report highlights a strong midstream industrial base but significant gaps in active materials production. Germany and Italy led in absolute market expansion, while Bulgaria ranked third. The battery market is closely linked to solar power, which grew by 65.1 GW in the EU last year.
