Policy Recommendations

EASE reply to ENTSO-E public consultation on the updated input data and assumptions for the Cost-Benefit Analysis for the definition of a minimum activation time period (Tmin) for Limited Energy Reservoirs (LER) in Continental Europe Synchronous Area.

EASE has compiled analyses of measures for energy storage in the draft updated NECPs to point out their strengths and weaknesses, based upon the Commission’s Recommendations for Energy Storage.

In light of interconnected challenges, such as energy security, economic growth, consumer protection, and climate change, energy storage emerges as a crucial tool to address these issues. EASE 2024 manifesto outlines four key goals and corresponding actions that prioritise energy storage, positioning it at the forefront of Europe’s energy system.

EASE has prepared an analysis that aims to shed light on the numerous benefits of thermal energy storage (TES) by providing an overview of technologies, inspiring projects, business cases, and revenue streams. Policy recommendations are also discussed.

The Energy Storage Europe Association (previously EASE) has prepared a position paper on the proposal of the Energy Market Design revision, by outlining the key position of the Energy Storage Europe Association on how to enhance the proposal and make non-fossil flexibility a central component of the new decarbonised energy system. On March 14, 2023, the European Commission released a proposed reform of the Electricity Market Design, which has the potential to significantly impact the energy storage sector. 

EASE has responded to the European Commission's Public Consultation on the Revision of the EU’s Electricity Market Design. This initiative aims to review the current electricity market design and identify areas for improvement that could support the integration of renewable energy sources, while ensuring security of supply and keep prices affordable for consumers.
