Rystad Energy Provides Comprehensive Analysis on Global and European Energy Markets, Highlighting Growth in Battery Storage and Solar Integration Opportunities

Rystad Energy provides comprehensive data, insights, and analysis across the global energy market to enhance transparency during the energy transition. Their coverage spans from micro-level individual assets such as over 4 million oil wells and 150,000 renewable power assets to macro-level analyses of more than 5,000 energy companies worldwide. Focusing on Europe’s battery energy storage market reveals significant regional disparities. Western Europe is mature in this sector with nearly 20 gigawatts of active storage capacity. In contrast, Southern and Eastern European markets collectively struggle to reach just three gigawatts but are expected to grow rapidly. Eastern Europe's battery storage market is projected to expand tenfold by decade's end, driven by nations like Poland and Romania; however, countries like Bulgaria and Hungary are starting from minimal installations. Revenue opportunities vary regionally within Europe; notably, Eastern European markets show higher profits from energy arbitrage compared to established markets like Germany or the UK. Co-locating batteries with solar farms can help boost capture prices for struggling developers in countries such as Greece and Bulgaria. Specifically in Bulgaria, a unique mix of thermal and nuclear base load generation presents additional benefits for incorporating battery storage systems alongside increasing solar capacity projections.
