EASE believes that energy storage is an essential enabler of the energy transition and recognises all technologies that support this transition. The #EnergyStorageMadeEasy Campaign aimed to raise awareness on the variety of energy storage technologies available and present in the EASE technology sheets.

Services to Support Behind the Meter Providing Customer Energy Management
The Task Force on Segmentation of Applications has developed the Services to Support Behind-the-Meter: Providing Customer Energy Management Report, among other descriptions. This work builds on the Summary of Energy Storage Applications published in June 2020.
This overview provides a summary of the customer energy management applications referring to the energy storage installed behind-the-meter to support end users and manage their energy supply and/or costs considering many residential, commercial and industrial consumers and customers are exposed to variable electricity tariffs.
Services to Support Behind the Meter Providing Customer Energy Management are composed of eight key systems:
End-User Peak Shaving: use of energy storage to level out peaks in electricity use by residential or industrial and commercial power consumers, with the aim of minimising the cost of a customer’s invoice that varies according to their highest power demand.
Time-of-Use Energy Cost Management: use of energy storage by customers subject to variable or ‘time-of-use’ electricity pricing to reduce the overall costs for electric service.
Particular Requirements in Power Quality: use of energy storage to provide a high level of power quality above and beyond what the system offers.
Maximising Self-Production & Self-Consumption of Electricity: use of energy storage to maximise self-production and self-consumption of electricity.
Continuity of Energy Supply: use of energy storage device to substitute the network in case of interruption.
Limitation of Upstream Disturbances: use of energy storage to limit the disturbances caused by distribution grids on upstream HV grids to contractual values.
Compensation of Reactive Power: use of energy storage to compensate locally the reactive power.
EV Integration: use of electric vehicles (EV) or plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEV) to provide Vehicle to Grid (V2G) functions to contribute to the grid balancing.
EASE believes that energy storage is an essential enabler of the energy transition and recognises all technologies that support this transition. The #EnergyStorageMadeEasy Campaign aimed to raise awareness on the variety of energy storage technologies available and present in the EASE technology sheets.
EASE has prepared a position paper on guiding principles to develop an AFN methodology which aims to ensure that energy storage technologies are properly taken into account in the methodology.
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the eighth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). The Market Monitor is an interactive database that tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects. With information on assets in over 29 countries, it is the largest and most detailed archive of European storage. The database is accompanied by a report which outlines key EU legislation, drivers and barriers for 14 core countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030.
EASE has compiled analyses of measures for energy storage in the draft updated NECPs to point out their strengths and weaknesses, based upon the Commission’s Recommendations for Energy Storage.
