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.
However, for storage to realize its full potential, a robust regulatory framework is needed. In the European Union (EU), the role energy storage plays in EU power markets will be formally recognized in the Electricity Market Design Directive (recast), which is expected to be adopted in Q1/Q2 2019.
The EU regulation of energy storage is generally spread across a number of regulatory acts, many of which require implementation at the level of the EU member states.
For example, the EU's Energy Storage Directive sets targets for member states to deploy a minimum amount of energy storage capacity by 2030. However, the implementation and interpretation of these directives have varied, leading to inconsistencies in regulatory frameworks.
Across Europe, countries have implemented a patchwork of policies and mandates to drive the adoption of energy storage technologies. For example, the EU's Energy Storage Directive sets targets for member states to deploy a minimum amount of energy storage capacity by 2030.
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.
