EASE has finalised a paper on the upcoming electricity market design revision, highlighting how energy storage can enable a carbon-neutral future. More than ever, energy independence, security of supply, sector integration, and decarbonisation are guiding policymakers’ actions. EASE identifies a list of changes as needed to ensure a renewable-based and secure energy system.
Breakthrough Energy, EASE, SolarPower Europe and WindEurope are once again joining forces to stress the importance of energy storage for Europe to achieve energy security.
EASE has estimated that the European Union requirements for energy storage are approximately 200 GW by 2030, and 600 GW by 2050.
EASE is actively shaping the legal and R&D funding framework for energy storage at EU level. Members gain direct influence in the European decision-making process.
Members benefit from EASE’s expertise and technical know-how, and they can participate in EU-funded research projects. EASE is currently involved in many EU-funded projects.
EASE gathers knowledge, information and data about future market developments that can help the energy storage stakeholders to adapt to the changing business environment.
Featuring in EASE’s publications and events, such as the Energy Storage Global Conference, gives you visibility and the opportunity to strengthen your network among storage experts.
Voith Hydro and STRUCINSPECT advance monitoring of hydropower civil structures, embodying a strong partnership between an experienced equipment supplier and a successful corporate start-up from Austria. Digital inspections lead to state-of-the-art digital infrastructure and lifecycle management, with the first hydropower facility monitoring currently underway in Scotland.
On the 16 March 2023, the European Commission unveiled communication on the Net-Zero Industrial Act, which includes all energy storage as a Net-Zero Strategic Technology.
On the 14 March 2023, the European Commission unveiled communication on the Electricity Market Design Revision, which recognises the crucial role of energy storage in enabling the deployment of renewable energy and reducing dependence on fossil generation.
In view of the upcoming publication of the European Commission’s proposal, Cleantech for Europe, Climate Strategy, EASE, Future Cleantech Architects, 1.5° Ventures, and InnoEnergy urge the co-legislators to untap the full potential of energy storage by introducing ambitious provisions.
Voith Hydro opens a new centre of competence for generator components located in central Europe, whose portfolio covers bars, coils, and poles for hydropower generators. The state-of-the art facility supplies Voith Hydro’s African and European markets as well as the Americas. Local officials and company representatives inaugurated the new generator component hub at the end of last year.
The battery energy storage projects will add 185.5 megawatt / 371 megawatt-hours of fast frequency and capacity response.
EASE has published its 2022 Activity Report. In 2022, safeguarding our Energy Security became an urgent priority, underscored by geopolitical instability and the increasing pace of the climate crisis. At EASE, we have continued to push for the deployment of Energy Storage, which is key to secure an independent access to energy, whilst paving the way for a carbon neutral economy.
EASE has responded to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the Revision of the EU’s Electricity Market Design. This initiative aims to review the current electricity market design and identify areas for improvement that could support the integration of renewable energy sources, while ensuring security of supply and keep prices affordable for consumers.
On 7 December 2022, over 200 participants attended webinar on electricity market design revision and joined the discussion on how it can enable energy storage for a carbon-neutral future. Representatives of EASE Policy team presented the latest EASE policy analysis paper "The Electricity Market Design Revision" and shared a list of changes identified to ensure a renewable-based and secure energy system. Speakers from Iberdrola, CellCube, Fluence and Enel X joined to discuss the topic.
