ENTSO-E 10-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP)
The ENTSO-E 10-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) is the pan-European electricity infrastructure development plan. It examines the future power system as a whole and explores how interconnections and energy storage can support the energy transition in a cost-effective and secure manner. EASE has responded to the consultation questions, rearranging the order of the questions according to its priorities.
EASE feedback calls for a more balanced consideration of energy storage technologies and a clearer breakdown of the economic impacts and costs of proposed scenarios. A more technology-neutral approach and improved data presentation (including capacity metrics) are recommended.

On 27 May 2025, over 200 participants attended the webinar on the "EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems". The Guidelines are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe.
EASE has prepared a position paper with suggested amendments to the Draft Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework (CISAF), initially submitted as a response to the Public Consultation to the Commission seeking the views of relevant stakeholders on a draft for this framework.
The EASE Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe. These guidelines aim to assist developers, manufacturers, service providers, and all stakeholders in the value chain—including relevant authorities, first responders, and permitting bodies—in implementing safety practices that align with regulatory requirements and technical standards.
The ninth edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES) by the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) and LCP Delta, is now available, highlighting Europe's rapid expansion in energy storage capacity, which reached 89 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2024. The report also projects continued strong growth through 2030, driven by technological advancements, policy support, and other key factors.
