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 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.
On 7 December 2022, over 200 participants attended webinar on electricity market design revision and joined the discussion on how it can enable energy storage for a carbon-neutral future. Representatives of EASE Policy team presented the latest EASE policy analysis paper "The Electricity Market Design Revision" and shared a list of changes identified to ensure a renewable-based and secure energy system. Speakers from Iberdrola, CellCube, Fluence and Enel X joined to discuss the topic.
EASE has finalised a paper on the upcoming electricity market design revision, highlighting how energy storage can enable a carbon-neutral future. More than ever, energy independence, security of supply, sector integration, and decarbonisation are guiding policymakers’ actions. EASE identifies a list of changes as needed to ensure a renewable-based and secure energy system.
