The Electricity Market Design Reform (EMDR) tasked the DSO Entity and ENTSO-E with developing a methodology to analyse flexibility needs. A draft proposal of this methodology is currently under consultation before its submission to ACER for possible amendments and approval.
December 2024 / Consultations & Advocacy
The European Union’s Energy Security Architecture
In response to the European Commission’s Public Consultation on the EU’s Energy Security architecture, EASE emphasizes the indispensable role of energy storage in achieving a secure, affordable, and resilient energy transition.
Key recommendations include removing regulatory barriers and enhancing EU-level coordination to maximize storage's contribution to renewable energy integration. By prioritizing investments in energy storage, EASE supports the EU’s decarbonisation and resilience goals, advocating for an efficient, flexible energy system underpinned by energy storage solutions.

Explore the benefits of joining Energy Storage Europe
Energy Storage Europe replies to the European Commission’s public consultation on the Methodology for the Calculation of the recycled content of industrial and EV batteries. Under the Batteries Regulation, several categories of batteries, including industrial batteries, will have to contain a certain percentage of recycled metals to be allowed to be placed on the EU market.
Energy Storage Europe welcomes the proposed revision of the Network Code for generators and the explicit integration of storage, including grid-forming capabilities. Further clarity is needed on requirements for bidirectional storage and the treatment of existing projects.
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.
