European Commission published the Battery Booster Strategy as part of the European Automotive Action Plan. The strategy includes a Battery Booster Facility to support battery manufacturing in the European Union, and measures to strengthen the European battery supply chain.

On 17 December, Hyperion Renewables launched construction of its first battery energy storage projects in Portugal, in Estremoz and Évora. The 16 MW / 64 MWh solar-plus-storage projects will support grid stability and advance the country’s energy transition.

The European Commission’s publication of the European Grids Package marks a major win for the energy storage sector. Energy storage is finally recognised as a unique and grid-friendly technological asset in the renewable energy sector. This will help developers to deploy projects and connect to the grid faster without unjustified economic barriers.

European Commission published the Grids Package, addressing critical bottlenecks in grid connections, permitting, and infrastructure planning. These issues have hampered energy storage deployment and slowed the EU’s decarbonisation and affordability ambitions.

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.
