EASE and Delta-ee are pleased to announce the publication of the third edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES).
EMMES 3.0 shows that:
Market growth in 2018 exceeded expectations, and was higher than both 2016 and 2017
A key factor in this rapid market growth during 2018 was the commissioning of new front-of-the meter projects in the UK
Behind-the-meter markets continue to develop positively across Europe, with growing opportunities for energy storage in C&I and residential applications in Central & Eastern Europe, Spain and the Nordics.
Political negotiations on the “Clean Energy for All Europeans” package (CEP) were concluded in December 2018, and the new electricity market design should be enacted into Member States national legislation over the next 18 months. This promises to deliver important changes that could have a significant and positive impact on the energy storage market in Europe.
While the market is forecast to grow in 2019 and 2020, it will do so at a lower rate due to the short-term saturation of some front-of-the-meter markets, and the maturing of the large German residential market.
However, new growth drivers will emerge as the CEP is enacted and we expect E-mobility to become a significant new application for stationary energy storage.
EASE submitted a response to the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) public consultation on the statutory documents of a new European body, the EU DSO entity.
EASE submitted a response to the public consultation on the Revision of the Trans-European Energy Infrastructure Regulation (No. 347/2013). From EASE’s point of view, 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.
EASE submitted a response to the European Commission's public consultation on the Revision of the Directive 2014/94/EU on the Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure (AFID). EASE believes this a great opportunity to present the EASE position on how the transport sector can be decarbonised thanks to a.o. energy storage solutions.
EASE submitted a response to the European Commission's public consultation on the 2030 Climate Target Plan. This assessment will look into how to increase ambition in a way that enhances EU competitiveness, ensures social fairness and access to secure, affordable and sustainable energy and other material resources, benefits citizens and reverses biodiversity loss and environmental degradation.
