On 9 September 2020, over 200 participants attended an EASE webinar presenting the European Parliament’s ITRE Committee Own-Initiative Report on energy storage. The webinar gave valuable insights into the work behind the report from the perspective of the Members of the European Parliament who led the drafting of the report: Claudia Gamon (rapporteur), Maria Spyraki (shadow-rapporteur), Ville Niinistö (shadow-rapporteur), and Niels Fuglsang (shadow-rapporteur). This was complemented by the European Commission, which presented its vision and policies for energy storage.

Open Letter on the Revision of the TEN-E Regulation
Following on from the European Commission’s proposed revision of the TEN-E Regulation in the latter half of 2020, EASE put forward a set of recommendations aiming at improving the legislative framework, better support renewable-based solutions, and contribute to the decarbonisation of the energy system.
The TEN-E Regulation should be significantly revised to better address the challenges and seize the opportunities in light of the European Union’s decarbonisation strategy. Flexibility solutions, and in particular energy storage, can play a key role: the regulation should recognise it and properly favour their uptakes.

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.
