The Unified Voice
of Energy Storage
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.
This position paper, prepared by the Energy Storage Europe Association, 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.
In this position paper, the Energy Storage Europe Association calls for a shift from today’s “first-come, first-served” queue system to a more efficient, strategic, and transparent framework that recognises the unique value of energy storage for reducing congestion, enhancing flexibility, and making better use of existing grid infrastructure.
Energy Storage Europe Association has published its Position Paper on Improving Permitting Procedures, highlighting the urgent need to streamline, harmonise, and modernise permitting frameworks for energy storage across the EU. Europe needs a fast, fair, and future-proof permitting framework to unlock the estimated 200 GW of energy storage required by 2030.
