On 19-20 March 2019 EASE Members’ representatives met at Naturgy’s InnovaHub in Madrid to discuss the biggest technical and regulatory challenges shaping the energy storage sector in Europe.

In 2018, EASE engaged with a wide range of stakeholders and got involved in different platforms to bring energy storage as a key topic in the next framework programme of the Commission: Horizon Europe.

In 2019 and beyond, EASE will focus on a number of key areas to further the development and deployment of energy storage technologies across Europe.

Through its involvement in different EU-funded projects, EASE continues to support innovative projects that further research, development, and deployment of different energy storage technologies.

The Battery 2030+ large-scale research initiative will gather leading scientists in Europe, as well as the industry, to achieve a leap forward in battery science and technology. The first Battery 2030+ project kicks off in March 2019 and will lay the basis for this large-scale research initiative on future battery technologies.

2018 was a turning point for energy storage policy at the European level, with major pieces of legislation being approved by the European institutions. EASE policy team has worked hard to ensure that the European regulatory framework evolves in a way that allows storage to have a strong business case and achieve its full potential to support the energy transition.
