Europe is racing to add very large grid batteries to balance rising wind and solar output. As of mid–late 2025, four utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects stand out by size — each designed in the 0. 8 GWh class and backed by reputable developers and public filings. Below I. . ENGIE's BESS project for installed capacity of 100 MW has been selected in the 4th Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM) auction in Belgium. With this new project, ENGIE reaches 500 MW of BESS capacity in Europe, either installed, under construction or at an advanced stage of development. The European Energy Storage Inventory comprises operational, under construction, permitted, and announced. . MUNICH, Germany (Wednesday 7th May 2025): New analysis reveals another year of record installations for European* battery storage, despite slower year-on-year growth, according to the latest European Market Outlook for Battery Storage.
