In this Briefing Paper, we have highlighted seven main challenges to the EU support to the development and deployment of energy storage technologies. The Commission has started to address some of these challenges, for example through the Clean Energy for All Europeans Package and the European Battery Alliance. 1. Ensure a coherent EU strategy
The EU policy framework for energy storage is based on strategic initiatives such as the European Battery Alliance, support for research and innovation in energy storage technologies, and legislation covering the electricity markets and low -carbon transport.
EU energy storage initiatives are a key part of advancing energy security and the transition toward a carbon-neutral economy, improving energy efficiency, and integrating renewable energy sources into electricity systems, and can play an integral role in balancing power grids and saving surplus energy.
State Aid and National Support for Storage EU guidelines under the Emissions Trading System (ETS) allow member states to support energy storage development through subsidies and other incentives. This approach supports a wide range of storage technologies and highlights the EU’s commitment to fostering a balanced and adaptable energy ecosystem.
The key regulations relevant for energy storage in the EU include the following: Focus of EU Regulation The EU regulation of energy storage is generally spread across a number of regulatory acts, many of which require implementation at the level of the EU member states.
The European Commission in 2020 published a study on energy storage, which summarized some previous studies and reports, explored current and potential energy storage markets in Europe, and set out policy and regulatory recommendations for energy storage.
