Business Case and Taxonomy of Behind-the-Meter Battery Energy Storage Systems in Europe
Behind-the-meter (BtM) Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are pivotal in the European Union's pursuit of ambitious climate goals and renewable energy integration. Co-located with technologies like solar photovoltaics (PV), they empower consumers and contribute to peak-shaving and load management. However, realizing their full potential necessitates a clear regulatory framework.
As BtM BESS deployment continues to expand, addressing existing barriers is imperative. These challenges include among others fair remuneration, net metering, complex tax structures, and inadequate integration of energy storage in system planning.
By addressing these challenges and providing the necessary policy support, the European Union can fully leverage BtM BESS and BtM BESS+PV solutions. This approach not only promotes a sustainable and resilient energy system but also empowers consumers to actively participate in the energy transition.

EASE has prepared a position paper on guiding principles to develop an AFN methodology which aims to ensure that energy storage technologies are properly taken into account in the methodology.
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the eighth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). The Market Monitor is an interactive database that tracks over 3,000 energy storage projects. With information on assets in over 29 countries, it is the largest and most detailed archive of European storage. The database is accompanied by a report which outlines key EU legislation, drivers and barriers for 14 core countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030.
EASE has compiled analyses of measures for energy storage in the draft updated NECPs to point out their strengths and weaknesses, based upon the Commission’s Recommendations for Energy Storage.
