The Battery Show Europe Returns and Expands with the Launch of Energy Storage Summit Germany

The Battery Show Europe, a cornerstone event for the advanced battery and electric vehicle (EV) technology sectors, is set to return in 2025 with an exciting new addition: the Energy Storage Summit Germany. This expansion reflects the growing importance of energy storage in Europe, particularly in Germany, which is rapidly becoming a leader in the sector. The co-location of these events in Stuttgart from June 3-5, 2025, promises to be a pivotal moment for industry stakeholders, offering unparalleled opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and learning.



A Strategic Expansion

The launch of the Energy Storage Summit Germany alongside The Battery Show Europe and Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo Europe is a strategic move that aligns with the current trends and future projections in the European energy storage market. Germany's ambitious renewable energy targets, coupled with its rapid ascent in the energy storage sector, make this expansion timely and relevant. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action introduced a national energy storage strategy in late 2023, aiming to support Germany’s Energiewende—a shift towards 80% renewable energy by 2030. This strategy underscores the government's commitment to leveraging energy storage solutions to achieve its renewable energy goals.

Key Trends and Projections

Germany's energy storage market has seen significant growth, particularly in the residential sector. However, utility-scale installations have accelerated in recent years, with 184 MW of utility-scale battery capacity added in 2023 across 44 projects. By mid-2024, Germany’s storage capacity reached nearly 16 GWh, and this number continues to climb. The German regulator and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) project that 24 GW of utility-scale energy storage will be connected to the grid by 2037, highlighting the tremendous opportunity for growth in the sector.
