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.

Energy Storage Europe Association responds to the European Commission’s Public Consultations on the Electrification Action Plan and the Heating and Cooling Strategy, highlighting the need for stronger recognition of storage as a central enabler of electrification and heating decarbonisation. This requires clearer policies to integrate storage into planning and investment pathways, along with measures to remove persistent barriers such as high upfront costs, slow permitting, unfavourable taxation, and weak market signals. Storage should be treated as a default element of a cost-effective, system-friendly transition and reflected accordingly in planning frameworks, financing tools, and flexibility market design.

Energy Storage Europe Association is glad to support the 10th Hybrid Power Plants & Systems Workshop, taking place from 05–06 May 2026 in Sardinia, Italy.

The EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland together are expected to reach 100 GW of installed energy storage later this month, according to new analysis launched at the Enlit Europe conference by LCP Delta and Energy Storage Europe. This milestone represents enough capacity to meet the peak electricity demand of Germany and the Netherlands. With storage capacity forecast to grow by a further 115% by 2030, this will play a crucial role in Europe’s energy transition, creating more space for renewables on the grid.

The 9.5 edition of the European Market Monitor on Energy Storage (EMMES) by the Energy Storage Europe Association and LCP Delta, is now available. The EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland together are expected to reach 100 GW of installed energy storage in November 2025.  This milestone represents enough capacity to meet the peak electricity demand of Germany and the Netherlands. With storage capacity forecast to grow by a further 115% by 2030, this will play a crucial role in Europe’s energy transition, creating more space for renewables on the grid.

Energy Storage Europe Association joins industry, civil society, and research organisations in calling on the European Commission to ensure the Industrial Accelerator Act includes strong, binding measures to create lead markets for clean industrial products made in the EU

The Energy Storage Europe Association engages with leading stakeholders across the energy sector to explore the ideas driving Europe’s energy transition. Through in-depth interviews with industry experts, this series examines how energy storage is accelerating the shift to clean energy, strengthening grid stability amid increasing renewable generation, and enhancing Europe’s energy security and independence.

The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) today announced a rebranding to better reflect the rapid evolution of the energy storage role in the energy storage system. EASE will now be known as the Energy Storage Europe association, with a new identity designed to give the sector a stronger visibility. This transformation marks a significant milestone as the association approaches its 15th anniversary and reflects the central role that energy storage now plays in Europe’s energy future.

On 27 January, the Estonian government coalition announced plans to hold auctions for offshore and onshore wind parks, each with a capacity of 2 TWh. These auctions, set to be launched in April, are part of broader efforts to transition to renewable energy and enhance the country’s energy security.

EASE is glad to support Solar & Storage Live Paris, taking place on 5–6 November 2025 in Le Bourget, Paris, France.
