    FAQs about EU Energy Storage System Standards

    What does the European Commission say about energy storage?

    The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a staff working document, providing an outlook of the EU's current regulatory, market, and financing framework for storage and identifies barriers, opportunities and best practices for its development and deployment.

    Which energy storage battery certifications are available in Europe?

    Discover the essential energy storage battery certifications in Europe, including CE, IEC 62619, UN38.3, and EN 50549. Ensure your BESS meets EU safety, performance, and grid compliance standards in 2025.

    What are the IEC standards for energy storage systems?

    The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) establishes global safety and performance standards for electrical products, including energy storage systems. Compliance with IEC standards is crucial for accessing the European market and ensuring interoperability and reliability. Key IEC Standards for Energy Storage Systems:

    Why is energy storage important in the EU?

    It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport. The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped hydro' storage, but battery storage projects are rising. A variety of new technologies to store energy are also rapidly developing and becoming increasingly market-competitive.

    How much energy storage capacity does the EU need?

    These studies point to more than 200 GW and 600 GW of energy storage capacity by 2030 and 2050 respectively (from roughly 60 GW in 2022, mainly in the form of pumped hydro storage). The EU needs a strong, sustainable, and resilient industrial value chain for energy-storage technologies.

    What is the European energy storage inventory?

    In March 2025, the Commission launched the European Energy Storage Inventory, a real-time dashboard that displays energy storage levels across different European countries. It is the first European-level tool of its kind and offers energy storage data across a full range of technologies.
