Policy Papers

EASE submitted a response to the to ENTSO-E stakeholder consultation on the "All CE and Nordic TSOs’ results of CBA in accordance with Art.156(11) of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 of 2 August 2017" report.

EASE put forward recommendations on how the Directive could be revised in order to address the current gaps in the legislation and support the further uptake of electric vehicles, assisting in the decarbonisation of the European economy, and allowing energy storage to reach its full potential.

Different policy measures are needed to promote the research, development, and deployment of all energy storage technologies. EASE supports efforts by EU policymakers to bolster the manufacturing and deployment of safe and sustainable battery technologies across the EU and believes that a proposal for sustainability requirements could have a positive impact on the industry.

In the first 100 days of the von der Leyen Commission’s entry into office, a proposal will be put forward for a European Green Deal with a comprehensive strategy for achieving ambitious decarbonisation targets. The energy storage sector supports this important initiative and is committed to playing its part in supporting the cost-effective, secure, and efficient transition to a net-zero emissions power system by 2050.

EASE submitted a response to the European Commission's public consultation on the Establishment of a Smart Readiness Indicator for Buildings. The Smart Readiness Indicator will be used to measure the capacity of buildings to use information and communication technologies and electronic systems to adapt the operation of buildings to the needs of the occupants and the grid and to improve the energy efficiency and overall performance of buildings.

Battery technologies play a key role in decarbonising the road transport sector and strongly contribute to energy storage solutions, both for domestic and grid applications. Therefore EASE endorses policymakers’ efforts to ensure that the EU develops a strong battery value chain and to facilitate the deployment of energy storage technologies.
