The European Union’s Energy Security Architecture
In response to the European Commission’s Public Consultation on the EU’s Energy Security architecture, EASE emphasizes the indispensable role of energy storage in achieving a secure, affordable, and resilient energy transition.
Key recommendations include removing regulatory barriers and enhancing EU-level coordination to maximize storage's contribution to renewable energy integration. By prioritizing investments in energy storage, EASE supports the EU’s decarbonisation and resilience goals, advocating for an efficient, flexible energy system underpinned by energy storage solutions.

The ninth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES) by the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) and LCP Delta, is now available, highlighting Europe's rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024. The report also projects continued strong growth through 2030, driven by technological advancements, policy support, and other key factors.
EASE reply to ENTSO-E’s Public Consultation on the 10-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) calls for a more balanced consideration of energy storage technologies and a clearer breakdown of the economic impacts and costs of proposed scenarios.
EASE reply to the European Commission’s Public Consultation and Call for Evidence Feedback on proposal for a Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) Implementing Act aiming at further specifying non-price criteria for renewable energy auctions.
In 2024, several new regulatory initiatives were introduced, marking a period of significant growth driven by key policy advancements and the collective efforts of EASE, its members, policymakers, and stakeholders.
