Energy Storage Europe Association Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems
The Energy Storage Europe Association Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are designed to support the safe deployment of outdoor, utility-scale lithium-ion (Li-ion) BESS across Europe. These guidelines aim to assist developers, manufacturers, service providers, and all stakeholders in the value chain—including relevant authorities, first responders, and permitting bodies—in implementing safety practices that align with regulatory requirements and technical standards.
Business Case and Taxonomy of Behind-the-Meter Battery Energy Storage Systems in Europe
EASE Task Force Behind-the-Meter has prepared an overview of Business Case and Taxonomy of Behind-the-Meter Battery Energy Storage Systems in Europe.
Local Flexibility at DSO Level and the Multi-service Business Case of Energy Storage
The EASE Task Force on Multi-Services Business Cases for Energy Storage has prepared a report looking at the key role of energy storage as a Local Flexibility provider. This paper gives an overview of existing short-term local flexibility schemes in Europe today including Active-network management (ANM) and other flexibility services and their implications on the business case for energy storage.
Energy Storage Targets 2030 and 2050
EASE has published an extensive review study for estimating Energy Storage Targets for 2030 and 2050 which will drive the necessary boost in storage deployment urgently needed today. Current market trajectories for storage deployment are significantly underestimating the system needs for energy storage. If we continue at historic deployment rates Europe will not be able to integrate the rapidly growing renewables and will fall short of its 2030 and 2050 climate targets.
