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 has prepared a position paper on the proposal of the Energy Market Design revision, by outlining the key position of EASE on how to enhance the proposal and make non-fossil flexibility a central component of the new decarbonised energy system. On March 14, 2023, the European Commission released a proposed reform of the Electricity Market Design, which has the potential to significantly impact the energy storage sector.
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the seventh edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). The Market Monitor is based on the most extensive database of European energy storage projects. The database of over 2,600 projects includes detailed data on current installations by customer segment (residential, C&I and front-of-meter) across 24 European countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030.
EASE has published its 2022 Activity Report. In 2022, safeguarding our Energy Security became an urgent priority, underscored by geopolitical instability and the increasing pace of the climate crisis. At EASE, we have continued to push for the deployment of Energy Storage, which is key to secure an independent access to energy, whilst paving the way for a carbon neutral economy.
EASE has responded to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the Revision of the EU’s Electricity Market Design. This initiative aims to review the current electricity market design and identify areas for improvement that could support the integration of renewable energy sources, while ensuring security of supply and keep prices affordable for consumers.
