EASE, in collaboration with LCP Delta, has launched the ninth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). This report highlights Europe’s rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024.
In 2024, EASE has been instrumental in shaping policies for the evolving energy storage sector. From fostering the battery industry and ensuring effective EU legislation to developing safety guidelines and promoting sustainable raw materials, its work has driven meaningful progress. EASE Activity Report 2024 is now available!
EASE has issued statements on two key European Commission initiatives launched on 26 February. The Clean Industrial Deal boosts renewables, industrial decarbonisation, and clean tech manufacturing, while the Affordable Energy Action Plan supports energy storage deployment and viability.
The EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe. These guidelines aim to assist developers, manufacturers, service providers, and all stakeholders in the value chain—including relevant authorities, first responders, and permitting bodies—in implementing safety practices that align with regulatory requirements and technical standards.
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.
EASE joins over 130 private sector organisations calling on governments to anchor renewables, efficiency, storage and grids at the core of national energy plans and policies.
The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) is proud to launch its tenth annual Student Award recognising outstanding graduate student research in the field of energy storage!
EASE, along with other European Renewable Energy and Storage Industries, has sent a joint letter to the European Commission asking for dedicated innovation support under Horizon Europe.
The Clean Industrial Deal, released on 26 February 2025, is the European Union masterplan aimed at enhancing industrial competitiveness and promoting decarbonisation. To achieve this goal, it must fully support the scaling up of net-zero technologies, including energy storage, which is crucial for integrating renewable energy and decarbonising otherwise hard-to-abate industries.
On 26 February, the European Commission introduced two major initiatives: the Clean Industrial Deal will set the direction for faster renewable energy deployment, industrial decarbonisation, and clean technology manufacturing; the Affordable Energy Action Plan outline key measures that will shape the deployment and economic viability of energy storage in the coming years.
European civil and cleantech society urges the Commission to deliver a bold Clean Industrial Deal to strengthen the EU’s cleantech leadership and net zero economy.
On 27 May 2025, over 200 participants attended the webinar on the "EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems". The Guidelines are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe.
EASE has prepared a position paper with suggested amendments to the Draft Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF), initially submitted as a response to the Public Consultation to the Commission seeking the views of relevant stakeholders on a draft for this framework.
