The growth of renewable energy sources is a vital step towards achieving the EU’s climate and energy goals. Along with grid expansion & optimisation, the EU’s ambition depends on expanding energy storage capacity to meet increasing flexibility demands and to lower electricity prices.
The Energy Storage Coalition urges the European Commission to deliver an Action plan on Energy Storage, building on the work already done by the DG Energy and the European Parliament, that will enable Member States and stakeholders to fully leverage the opportunities available, providing clarity for investors, removing barriers, and ensuring that energy storage can fulfil its crucially needed role in Europe’s energy transition.
The Energy Storage Coalition recommends to the European Commission that the proposed Action Plan on Energy Storage should include at the minimum the following key elements below, while involving all relevant DGs of the European Commission and other relevant institutions:
We are calling on all organisations supporting the energy transition to join our call for action to show policymakers the strong agreement around the need of an Action Plan on Energy Storage.
