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.

Energy Storage Europe has prepared a reply to the European Commission's public consultation on TYNDP 2026 Identification of System Needs Methodology. The European Commission’s public consultation seeks feedback on the analytical framework used by ENTSO-E to identify cost-efficient and technically robust opportunities for the development of Europe’s electricity system, without prescribing specific investment decisions.
In 2025, the energy storage sector experienced significant growth, driven by strong market expansion and evolving EU policy developments. Europe reached the milestone of 100 GW of installed capacity, highlighting the increasing importance of storage in the energy transition.
Energy Storage Europe replies to the European Commission’s public consultation on the Battery Booster Facility. On 16 December 2025, the European Commission announced a Battery Booster Strategy, within the Automotive Action Plan. The Strategy includes a Facility of EUR 1.5 billion in the form of loans for projects in the production of battery cells in Europe.
Energy Storage Europe's position paper, "Ensuring System Stability in Europe: The Role of Energy Storage in Providing Inertia", focuses on how the EU can implement a cost-effective and technologically neutral approach to procuring inertia. It also outlines how such an approach can be firmly embedded within a harmonised European methodology for assessing and monitoring inertia needs across synchronous areas.
