Let’s start with the bad news: the transport sector is the only European sector in which greenhouse gas emissions have risen since 1990. Now, the good news: it is possible to reduce these emissions.

Storage Stories: EASE First External Newsletter is Now Online
We are proud to announce that the first EASE external newsletter was just sent to over 3.000 contacts.
"Storage Stories" is an overview of selected energy storage hot topics, sent directly to your mailbox three times per year.
Clean energy technologies are developing at an incredible pace, and energy storage is no exception. Staying up to date with the latest policy and technical developments can be challenging. This is why we decided to create this external newsletter.
Let’s start with the bad news: the transport sector is the only European sector in which greenhouse gas emissions have risen since 1990. Now, the good news: it is possible to reduce these emissions.
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.
