6 FAQs about [EU Wind Solar and Energy Storage icoca Project]

Could the EU save €9bn by capturing excess wind and solar?

In 2030, the EU could avoid gas costs worth €9bn by capturing excess wind and solar. Between August 2023 and July 2024, nine EU countries saw solar alone exceeding 80% of their hourly domestic demand. Germany could have avoided 36 GWh of expensive fossil power and up to €2.5mn fuel costs in June 2024 alone with 2 GW more of additional batteries.

How can the EU benefit from home-grown wind & solar?

Sebastian Kahnert/ dpa picture alliance / Alamy Stock Photo Coupling renewables and clean flexibility growth, the EU can benefit from abundant home-grown wind and solar, reduce dependence on imported fossil energy, and avoid costs.

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 does wind and solar produce in the EU?

In the twelve months to July 2024 (inclusive), wind and solar produced more than half of EU power in 7% of hours, up from just 2% of hours in the twelve months prior. In the same period, solar and wind covered a minimum of 6% of EU electricity demand across all hours.

How can the EU save energy?

With adequate growth in electricity storage, demand side flexibility and cross-border interconnectivity to help take advantage of abundant home-grown clean power, the EU could reduce fossil dependance, avoid costly energy imports, and protect consumers and businesses from volatile international energy prices.

How does solar power affect battery storage in the EU?

Years of strong solar growth and high gas prices have increased electricity price volatility across the EU, strengthening opportunities for battery storage. In turn, batteries can increase power demand at peak solar times, supporting solar revenues.
