The Unified Voice
of Energy Storage
Registrations are now open to the ninth edition of the conference organised by Energy Storage Europe in Brussels from 6-8 October 2026.
EASE will now be known as Energy Storage Europe, with a new identity designed to give the sector a stronger visibility. This transformation marks a significant milestone as the association approaches its 15th anniversary and reflects the central role that energy storage now plays in Europe’s energy future.
Energy Storage Europe engages with leading stakeholders across the energy sector to explore the ideas driving Europe’s energy transition.
This position paper assesses the system value of long-duration energy storage, identifies barriers to deployment, and proposes recommendations to better align European energy, industrial, and financing frameworks with the long-term flexibility needs of a fully decarbonised power system.
Energy Storage Europe is actively shaping the legal and R&D funding framework for energy storage at EU level. Members gain direct influence in the European decision-making process.
Members benefit from Energy Storage Europe expertise and technical know-how, and they can participate in EU-funded research projects.
The Energy Storage Europe Association is currently involved in many EU-funded projects.
Energy Storage Europe gathers knowledge, information and data about future market developments that can help the energy storage stakeholders to adapt to the changing business environment.
Featuring in Energy Storage Europe publications and events, such as the Energy Storage Europe Conference, gives you visibility and the opportunity to strengthen your network among storage experts.
In 2025, Europe surpassed 100 GW of installed storage capacity for the first time, and by Q2 2026 storage overtook nuclear as a source of installed power capacity. With electrochemical storage forecast to grow by a further 153 GW by 2030, energy storage is becoming a core pillar of Europe's future electricity system.
On 2 June 2025, Energy Storage Europe was pleased to host a webinar with over 600 registrations, together with co-organisers addressing the “Long-Duration Energy Storage and the Future of Europe’s Energy Security”.
A coalition of industry stakeholders has published a joint letter calling on the European Commission to recognise long-duration energy storage (LDES) as a strategic pillar of Europe’s energy security and electrification agenda. The signatories urge the Commission to integrate LDES into upcoming policy initiatives and support deployment through dedicated planning, market, and investment frameworks.
Energy Storage Europe has prepared a press release onAccelerateEU. AccelerateEU’s signal is loud and clear. Now is the moment to accelerate deployment at scale by investing massively in solutions that can be built and deployed in Europe.
Energy Storage Europe is proud to launch its eleventh annual Student Award recognising outstanding graduate student research in the field of energy storage!
On 4 March 2026 the European Commission published the Industrial Accelerator Act. The Act introduces Made in Europe requirements for the procurement and auction of numerous industrial products, including energy storage technologies.

Thermal Energy Storage can help European industry decarbonise, reduce costs, and access new revenue streams. Yet significant regulatory, economic, and financial barriers continue to limit its deployment.
Energy Storage Europe welcomes the proposal for an Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) and supports its overall objective of strengthening industrial capacity, accelerating decarbonisation, and creating stronger lead markets for strategic clean technologies in the European Union.
