In order to use storage to fill the deficits in years 29 to 31, it would be necessary to store energy for decades. Studies of shorter periods seriously underestimate the need for storage. Contingency is included in the modelling to allow for variations not seen in this period.
No matter how much generating capacity is installed, there will be times when wind and solar cannot meet all demand, and large-scale storage will be needed. Historical weather records indicate that it will be necessary to store large amounts of energy (some 1000 times that provided by pumped hydro) for many years.
Electricity storage covers a range of technologies that can deploy at different scales and provide output for different durations. This includes lithium-ion battery storage and pumped hydro storage as well as emerging technologies including liquid air energy storage and flow batteries.
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.
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.
Electricity can be stored in a variety of ways, including in batteries, by compressing air, by making hydrogen using electrolysers, or as heat. Storing hydrogen in solution-mined salt caverns will be the best way to meet the long-term storage need as it has the lowest cost per unit of energy storage capacity.
