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 29 January 2025, the European Commission presents the Competitiveness Compass, the first major initiative of this mandate. The Compass revolves around three core areas for action: innovation, decarbonisation, and security.

The winner of EASE Student Award 2024, Alexandre Rossignol, analysed the legal framework applicable to electricity storage and proposes legislative changes to remedy the structural and functional brakes identified, to promote the efficient development of storage in France and Europe.
