EASE Position Paper on Guiding Principles to Develop an EU Methodology to Assess Flexibility Needs
New legal provisions in the energy market design regulation reform have been introduced requiring Member States to carry out an Assessment of Flexibility Needs (AFN) with a 5 to 10-year look-ahead. Therein, MSs will analyse the contribution of various flexibility sources in meeting the defined needs. All Member States will implement the same EU methodology to produce an AFN report and interpret these results to set a non-fossil flexibility target and sub-targets for energy storage and demand response. ENTSOE and EU DSO are assigned the task of developing the methodology.
It is key for stakeholders to be consulted on the methodology's development. This EASE position paper on guiding principles to develop an AFN methodology 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.
