Analysis to the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive
The EASE Secretariat prepared an analysis the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III and RED III.5), which entered into force on 20 November 2023
The Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III) and RED III.5, represent pivotal legislation in the European Union's decarbonisation efforts. Building upon previous Directives, RED III and RED III.5 mark a significant evolution in renewable energy policy, setting more stringent renewables’ targets and introducing innovative mechanisms to accelerate the energy transition.
These updates significantly impact the energy storage sector by encouraging the development and deployment of energy storage. They also highlight the importance of smart grids and demand response systems. By supporting a robust storage infrastructure, RED III and RED III.5 aim to improve grid stability, optimise renewable energy use, and enhance energy security across the EU.
