The Long and Short of It: Long Duration Energy Storage for Europe’s Future
On 15 September 2022, EASE together with Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) Council co-organised a webinar "The Long and Short of It: Long Duration Energy Storage for Europe’s Future" to discuss long duration energy storage for Europe’s future.
Experts from the LDES Council and EASE presented the most recent reports, storage targets, and learnings of companies based in Europe who are leading the way for long duration energy storage.
Panellists discussed their viewpoints on Europe’s clean energy future and how storage provides flexibility and stability both with renewable energy sources and without.
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.
EASE reply to ENTSO-E’s Public Consultation on the 10-Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) calls for a more balanced consideration of energy storage technologies and a clearer breakdown of the economic impacts and costs of proposed scenarios.
EASE reply to the European Commission’s Public Consultation and Call for Evidence Feedback on proposal for a Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) Implementing Act aiming at further specifying non-price criteria for renewable energy auctions.
