EASE has provided a response to ENTSO-E Public Consultation on the All Continental Europe TSO’s proposal to determine a minimum activation time period required for limited energy reservoirs to remain available during alert state in accordance with Article 156(11) of the SO GL. Although several flaws in the methodology have been detected, EASE has suggested reasessment of the methodology to enhance the proposal.

#EnergyStorageMadeEasy
EASE believes that energy storage is an essential enabler of the energy transition and recognises all technologies that support this transition. The #EnergyStorageMadeEasy Campaign aimed to raise awareness on the variety of energy storage technologies available and present inthe EASE technology sheets.
The Association's members represent different aspects of the energy storage sector and they ultimately work together to support different energy storage solution development and deployment across the EU in order to provide flexibility in different locations and at different timescales. It is important to recognise that different energy storage systems consider different technological possibilities, which EASE organises in 5 energy storage classes:
Chemical
Electrochemical
Electrical
Mechanical
Thermal
Over the period of five weeks, a variety of information on all technology groups was shared with the public through EASE's Twitter and LinkedIn platforms. By sharing different information materials, videos, images and articles on technology groups, the #EnergyStorageMadeEasy campaign successfully interacted with EASE's followers and reached new audiences.

EASE has responded to the European Commission's Public Consultation on 'Renewable Energy Projects - Permit-Granting Processes & Power Purchase Agreements . This initiative aims to facilitate renewable energy production projects. It will focus on the key barriers to implementing renewable energy projects and outline good practices addressing the identified barriers and good practices to facilitate power-purchase agreements, including across borders.
EASE has responded to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the proposal for ‘Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas markets’ Package. This Package, consisting of a review of the Gas Regulation and of the Gas Directive, aims to decarbonise gas consumption, and puts forward policy measures required for supporting the creation of optimum and dedicated infrastructure, as well as efficient markets.
The revisions of the Energy Performance and Buildings Directive and the Energy Efficiency Directive are vital to achieving a zero-emission and fully decarbonised building stock and a carbon-neutral energy system by 2050. EASE welcomes these revisions as an opportunity to speed up decarbonisation efforts through the efficient and optimised use of energy. However, stronger integration of energy storage solutions is required.
EASE has prepared a position paper on the Renewable Energy Directive Revision (REDIII) highlighting the great opportunity this review offers in terms of speeding up decarbonisation efforts in the energy system. EASE believes energy storage can be fostered through RED III in multiple ways.
