The main energy storage reservoir in the EU is by far pumped hydro storage, but batteries projects are rising, according to a study on energy storage published in May 2020. Besides batteries, a variety of new technologies to store electricity are developing at a fast pace and are increasingly becoming more market-competitive.
MITEI''s three-year Future of Energy Storage study explored the role that energy storage can play in fighting climate change and in the global adoption of clean energy grids. Replacing fossil fuel-based power generation with power generation from wind and solar resources is a key strategy for decarbonizing electricity.
