Ukraine ranks 4th in Europe for 2025 BESS installations per SolarPower Europe
Last editorial update:
According to SolarPower Europe’s European Battery Market Outlook, Ukraine installed nearly 3 GWh of BESS in 2025—five times the 2024 volume—placing it fourth in Europe behind only Germany, the UK and Italy. Over 60% of new capacity was distributed storage supporting solar-plus-storage systems for households, businesses and critical infrastructure, reflecting wartime prioritisation of decentralised resilience.
Why it matters
Confirms rapid maturation of Ukraine’s battery storage market driven by energy security needs, with majority distributed (household, commercial, critical infrastructure). Strengthens the investment case for 5-100 MW BESS and hybrid solar/wind+storage projects in safer western and central regions where grid flexibility and resilience premiums are high.
