Optimising Energy Use: How Energy Storage Can Support European Energy Reduction Needs
EASE welcomes these revisions as an opportunity to speed up decarbonisation efforts through the efficient and optimised use of energy. However, stronger integration of energy storage solutions is required.
These are the necessary steps to be urgently taken to favour faster emission reduction over the next decade:
Optimising energy in buildings: Capture the benefits of building renovation to optimise energy consumption alongside the installation of renewable energy sources and energy storage, in addition to energy efficiency interventions. To maximise the benefits, the role of energy storage shall be considered when calculating the building's energy performance;
Buildings as active participants in the energy system: Buildings could play an important role in the increasingly electrified future energy system, by providing flexibility to the system and empowering consumers. In this regard, all necessary assets to reduce and make flexible building consumption must be deployed and monitored through the use of the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) and the installation of energy storage solutions;
System integration to support an energy efficient system: Connecting the building, transportation, and energy sectors is critical to promote system efficiency. When combined with charging points, RES and heating and cooling applications, energy storage solutions directly support this integration by providing additional flexibility to the electricity grid.

EASE has prepared a position paper on the proposal of the Energy Market Design revision, by outlining the key position of EASE on how to enhance the proposal and make non-fossil flexibility a central component of the new decarbonised energy system. On March 14, 2023, the European Commission released a proposed reform of the Electricity Market Design, which has the potential to significantly impact the energy storage sector.
EASE and LCP-Delta are pleased to announce the publication of the seventh edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES). The Market Monitor is based on the most extensive database of European energy storage projects. The database of over 2,600 projects includes detailed data on current installations by customer segment (residential, C&I and front-of-meter) across 24 European countries, future projects and forecasts to 2030.
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.
