The European Union’s Energy Security Architecture
In response to the European Commission’s Public Consultation on the EU’s Energy Security architecture, EASE emphasizes the indispensable role of energy storage in achieving a secure, affordable, and resilient energy transition.
Key recommendations include removing regulatory barriers and enhancing EU-level coordination to maximize storage's contribution to renewable energy integration. By prioritizing investments in energy storage, EASE supports the EU’s decarbonisation and resilience goals, advocating for an efficient, flexible energy system underpinned by energy storage solutions.

Explore the benefits of joining Energy Storage Europe
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.
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.
