EMMES 2.0 - June 2018
EASE and Delta-ee are pleased to announce the publication of the second edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES).
EMMES 2.0 shows that:
The electrical energy storage capacity annually installed grew by 49% between 2016 and 2017 in Europe, which is a steady growth rate since 2015. In 2018it is expected to grow at a similar rate (45%) with the level of new installations accelerating
The total installed base in Europe (excluding pumped hydro) reached 1.6 GWh at end of 2017
Germany and UK remain the most important markets for grid scale projects
Italy is emerging as a rapidly growing market for residential electrical energy storage but Germany remains a clear leader.
On 5 June 2018, EASE published a study estimating the energy storage capacity that would be needed in order for the different EU Member States to achieve its decarbonisation targets.
EASE submitted a response to the European Commission Public Consultation on the Revision of the Energy Taxation Directive welcoming the revision of the Energy Taxation Directive and identifying a list of recommendations relevant for energy storage sector.
The services to support generation and bulk storage can ensure a vast and clean energy generation from renewable sources and can be divided into seven categories, among which there are energy arbitrage, system electricity supply capacity, support to conventional generation, ancillary services RES support, capacity firming, RES curtailment minimisation and seasonal arbitrage.
EASE put forward recommendations on how the TEN-E Regulation should be significantly revised to better address the challenges and seize the opportunities in light of the European Union’s decarbonisation strategy.
On 9 September 2020, over 200 participants attended an EASE webinar presenting the European Parliament’s ITRE Committee Own-Initiative Report on energy storage. The webinar gave valuable insights into the work behind the report from the perspective of the Members of the European Parliament who led the drafting of the report: Claudia Gamon (rapporteur), Maria Spyraki (shadow-rapporteur), Ville Niinistö (shadow-rapporteur), and Niels Fuglsang (shadow-rapporteur). This was complemented by the European Commission, which presented its vision and policies for energy storage.
