EASE welcomes the revision of the Climate, Energy and Environmental Aid Guidelines to align the State aid framework with the EU’s ambitious decarbonisation targets and the European Green Deal. With the revision of the EEAG, the EU seeks to address challenge of ensuring a clear framework that supports decarbonisation in a cost-effective manner while maintaining competition and fair trade.

Reply to the Public Consultation on All Continental Europe TSOs Proposal
The European Union as a whole has agreed on ambitious goals to increase renewable energy in the energy system and become carbon neutral by 2050. Energy storage technologies can provide an important contribution to system security while enabling the transition to a decarbonised energy system. The fast-dynamic response of energy storage devices is expected to help cope with the system inertia decrease and the RES variability, thereby contributing to grid stability. However, energy storage can only provide such services if there are no undue barriers in the network code provisions and market entry and development is attractive for LER.
EASE supports setting Tmin for FCR providers with LER to 15 minutes, however, EASE notes that the methodology itself should be re-assessed before it is possible to carry out the CBA and based on that, to discuss the results.

EASE has submitted a technical contribution to the European Chemicals Agency’s Public Consultation on the Annex XV Restriction Report for PFAS. In January 2023, a group of EU member states collectively submitted a proposal for restrictions to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) concerning per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
EASE has prepared a reply to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the EU Climate Targets for 2040 that aims to gather inputs on the EU’s intermediary climate targets for 2040 by 24 June 2023. The Call for Evidence Feedback will inform a detailed impact assessment in view of drafting a law proposal.
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.
