In light of interconnected challenges, such as energy security, economic growth, consumer protection, and climate change, energy storage emerges as a crucial tool to address these issues. EASE 2024 manifesto outlines four key goals and corresponding actions that prioritise energy storage, positioning it at the forefront of Europe’s energy system.

National Energy and Climate Plans
The National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs) were established under the 2019 Clean Energy Package for Member States to detail how they will meet their 2030 energy and climate targets set by the EU. At the end of June 2023, Member States were due to submit draft updated NECPs to bring Member States in line with more recent EU policies, and the fit for 55 targets. The updated NECPs are meant to include sections on flexibility and energy storage.
EASE has compiled analyses of measures for energy storage in the draft updated NECPs to point out their strengths and weaknesses, based upon the European Commission’s recommendations for Energy Storage. The final document will provide a per-country overview of the recommendations’ implementation in the NECPs, in the context of the Commission’s assessment of the draft plans.
