The European Union’s Energy Security Architecture
In response to the European Commission’s Public Consultation on the EU’s Energy Security architecture, EASE emphasizes the indispensable role of energy storage in achieving a secure, affordable, and resilient energy transition.
Key recommendations include removing regulatory barriers and enhancing EU-level coordination to maximize storage's contribution to renewable energy integration. By prioritizing investments in energy storage, EASE supports the EU’s decarbonisation and resilience goals, advocating for an efficient, flexible energy system underpinned by energy storage solutions.

Energy storage is a key enabler of the European Union’s decarbonisation and energy security objectives, yet current grid fee structures often act as barriers to its deployment. This position paper outlines critical challenges related to network tariffs and charges that create market distortions and discourage much-needed investments in flexibility.
EASE shares key overviews on the latest publication of the European Commission’s assessment of the Member States’ updated National Energy and Climate Plans.
On 27 May 2025, over 200 participants attended the webinar on the "EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems". The Guidelines are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe.
EASE has prepared a position paper with suggested amendments to the Draft Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF), initially submitted as a response to the Public Consultation to the Commission seeking the views of relevant stakeholders on a draft for this framework.
