The European Commission in 2020 published a study on energy storage, which summarized some previous studies and reports, explored current and potential energy storage markets in Europe, and set out policy and regulatory recommendations for energy storage.
State Aid and National Support for Storage EU guidelines under the Emissions Trading System (ETS) allow member states to support energy storage development through subsidies and other incentives. This approach supports a wide range of storage technologies and highlights the EU's commitment to fostering a balanced and adaptable energy ecosystem.
EU energy storage initiatives are a key part of advancing energy security and the transition toward a carbon-neutral economy, improving energy efficiency, and integrating renewable energy sources into electricity systems, and can play an integral role in balancing power grids and saving surplus energy.
