The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft Implementing Act for non-price criteria in renewable energy auctions.
EASE reply to European Commission’s Public Consultation on the EU’s energy security architecture, highlights energy storage as key to a secure and resilient energy transition.
The European Commission has recently launched a stakeholder consultation on its upcoming guidance regarding grid connections in situations where capacity constraints exist. In response, EASE urged reforms to tackle stalled “ghost” projects blocking viable energy storage. Key recommendations include a “first-ready, first-served” model, transparent grid data, and more flexible rules to accelerate the clean energy transition.
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.
Energy storage is a key enabler of the European Union’s decarbonisation and energy security objectives, yet current grid fee structures often act as barriers to its deployment. This position paper outlines critical challenges related to network tariffs and charges that create market distortions and discourage much-needed investments in flexibility.
EASE shares key overviews on the latest publication of the European Commission’s assessment of the Member States’ updated National Energy and Climate Plans.
