EASE has provided a response to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the new Batteries Regulation to further improve it in a way that is favourable to the energy storage sector. This Regulation aims to ensure that batteries placed in the EU market are sustainable and safe throughout their entire life cycle.

Power-to-Gas: Policies and Actions in Europe
EASE has prepared an overview of the upcoming and existing key policy and actions of Spain, the Netherlands and Germany to support the uptake of hydrogen and Power-to-Gas solutions.
Hydrogen and Power-to-Gas are chemical energy storage technologies; one of five energy storage “families” identified by EASE. Electricity-produced hydrogen can be used for transport (fuel), for heating (fuel), as a raw material (chemical feedstock); to balance electricity demand and supply and to support the management of the electricity grid (through storage).
The European Union, and many of its Member States, consider clean hydrogen a key priority to achieve the European Green Deal and Europe’s clean energy transition. Yet, today, hydrogen is a modest fraction of the European energy mix.
EASE welcomes the two strategies presented by the European Commission in 2020, the Energy System Integration and Hydrogen. While it seems clear that coordination at the European Union level is necessary, different states are trying to introduce complementary policies and initiatives to favour its uptake. It seems one-size-fits-all solutions may not exist – States have different characteristics and priorities, so different approaches are necessary.
In this document, we will focus solely on hydrogen produced through Power-to-Gas, i.e. by electrolysis. Other technologies to produce hydrogen are not considered.

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.
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.
