HYDROPOWER EUROPE’S 2nd Stakeholder Online Consultation is Now Open
HYDROPOWER EUROPE, a multipartner initiative supported by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme, launched on 28 July 2020 its second online consultation. The consultation aims to establish priorities for the proposed research and innovation actions listed within two strategic documents: the Research & Innovation Agenda and the Strategic Industry Roadmap.
The HYDROPOWER EUROPE (HPE) forum, in which EASE is involved as leader of the consultation process, aims to gather all relevant stakeholders of the hydropower sector to achieve a Research & Innovation Agenda (RIA) and Strategic Industry Roadmap (SIR), based on the synthesis of technical fora and transparent public debates.
The main focus in this second consultation round is to gather the feedback from a wide range of hydropower stakeholders on the proposed research and innovation actions (R&I) listed within the two main HPE documents.
This consultation is one of the last opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback and recommendations about the main R&I priorities for the future of hydropower in Europe and how hydropower can contribute to a successful clean energy transition.
Completing the survey will take circa 15 minutes and comprises a review and prioritisation of actions proposed under the RIA and SIR respectively. In this occasion you will also be able to share your opinion on the future of the HYDROPOWER EUROPE Forum!
The consultation process closes at the end of October 2020.
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.
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.
