The Electricity Market Design Reform (EMDR) tasked the DSO Entity and ENTSO-E with developing a methodology to analyse flexibility needs. A draft proposal of this methodology is currently under consultation before its submission to ACER for possible amendments and approval.
December 2024 / Consultations & Advocacy
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
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.
