EASE Activity Report 2023

In 2023, EASE embraced several opportunities, and sustained its position as the main European advocate for energy storage in the continent’s energy landscape. EASE policy activities in 2023 focused on the revision of the European Electricity Market Design and demonstrated the association’s ability to foster collaboration on a wide range of topics involved with Europe’s latest reform of its energy system.

Here are some of our achievements in 2023:

• The launch of the Energy Storage Coalition with other energy stakeholders further demonstrated energy storage’s relevance to the wider cleantech sector.
• The Energy Storage Global Conference saw stronger participation than ever, a testament to the successful collaboration between EASE and key stakeholders. The ESGC is approaching its first decade and is now the flagship event for the energy storage industry to showcase its vitality to policymakers.
• EASE policy activities in 2023 focused on the revision of the European Electricity Market Design and demonstrated the association’s ability to foster collaboration on a wide range of topics involved with Europe’s latest reform of its energy system.
• While the European Commission focused largely on finalising ongoing initiatives and implementing adopted legislation, it remained committed to addressing the challenges stemming from the Russian invasion in Ukraine and the subsequent energy crisis. EU’s overarching objectives were to strengthen the resilience of the energy system and limit strategic dependencies.
