EASE submitted a response to the European Commission Public Consultation on the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy outlining the need for an EU strategy that appropriately value the role of energy storage in relation to mobility.
September 2020 / Event Reports
A comprehensive European Approach to Energy Storage
Following the rapid deployments of energy storage solutions around Europe, energy storage is gaining momentum across various initiatives from the European Parliament and European Commission. On 9 September 2020, over 200 participants attended an EASE webinar presenting the European Parliament’s ITRE Committee Own-Initiative Report on energy storage.
The webinar gave valuable insights into the work behind the report from the perspective of the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) who led the drafting of the report: Claudia Gamon (rapporteur, Renew Europe), Maria Spyraki (shadow-rapporteur, EPP), Ville Niinistö (shadow-rapporteur, Greens/EFA), and Niels Fuglsang (shadow-rapporteur, S&D). This was complemented by the European Commission, which presented its vision and policies for energy storage.
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the solutions that EASE, as the voice of the energy storage industry, considers essential for the integration of renewables and for transitioning to an energy system in which people will have both clean energy and security of supply. EASE is happy to see that the report has taken a technology-neutral approach to ensure a level playing field for all energy storage solutions. This will allow market forces to foster innovation and to drive the choice of technology.

EASE has submitted a technical contribution to the European Chemicals Agency’s Public Consultation on the Annex XV Restriction Report for PFAS. In January 2023, a group of EU member states collectively submitted a proposal for restrictions to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
EASE has prepared a reply to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the EU Climate Targets for 2040 that aims to gather inputs on the EU’s intermediary climate targets for 2040 by 24 June 2023. The Call for Evidence Feedback will inform a detailed impact assessment in view of drafting a law proposal.
EASE has prepared a position paper on the proposal of the Energy Market Design revision, by outlining the key position of EASE on how to enhance the proposal and make non-fossil flexibility a central component of the new decarbonised energy system. On March 14, 2023, the European Commission released a proposed reform of the Electricity Market Design, which has the potential to significantly impact the energy storage sector.
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the seventh edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). The Market Monitor is based on the most extensive database of European energy storage projects. The database of over 2,600 projects includes detailed data on current installations by customer segment (residential, C&I and front-of-meter) across 24 European countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030.
