Digitalising the Energy Sector – EU Action Plan
EASE has taken part in the European Commission's Public Consultation for the adoption of an Action Plan on the Digitalisation of the Energy Sector. EASE supports this initiative for the digitalisation of the energy sector which has the potential to play a key role in the energy transition towards a decarbonised European Union.
EASE believes that integrating digital technologies in the energy sector and energy storage solutions can provide numerous benefits such as increased energy system flexibility, energy optimisation, and energy system integration.
In its response to the consultation, EASE emphasised the importance of considering the role of flexibility, which can be enhanced by energy storage solutions and digital technologies. Furthermore, EASE highlighted the importance of and the barriers for consumers empowerment.

Explore the benefits of joining Energy Storage Europe
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.

Thermal Energy Storage can help European industry decarbonise, reduce costs, and access new revenue streams. Yet significant regulatory, economic, and financial barriers continue to limit its deployment.
Energy Storage Europe welcomes the proposal for an Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) and supports its overall objective of strengthening industrial capacity, accelerating decarbonisation, and creating stronger lead markets for strategic clean technologies in the European Union.
