The Energy Storage Coalition was at Enlit Europe, with Aurélien Ballagny, Head of Policy, moderating a discussion on #LDES! 🚀 We are grateful to the speakers Andy Joynson, Marina Lombardi, Sarah Griffiths Savolaine and Gergely B. for sharing their expertise on the latest technological developments and how to fully roll out long-duration energy storage to boost renewable integration and ensure grid stability. LDES is vital for unlocking net zero goals and driving the future of #EnergyStorage. 👏Thanks to everyone who joined the discussion!

💡The European Union urgently needs an Action Plan on Energy Storage. While recent EU legislation, including the Clean Energy Package and the Electricity Market Design reform, has laid a foundation for renewable energy and storage, significant barriers to widespread storage deployment remain. 💪 Energy storage is critical to making the energy transition a success: let's #ActOnEnergyStorage to fully harness Europe's renewable energy potential.

🗓 Join us on 3 December 2024 in Brussels for the event "Repower Ukraine with Energy Storage and Renewables". #Renewables and #energystorage are cornerstones of Ukraine's sustainable, secure, and independent energy future. By integrating these sectors into the rebuilding process, Ukraine can reduce its dependence on external energy sources, build infrastructure that is more resilient to external shocks, and increase its energy security. Registrations to the event are now open ⬇

At our annual event last week, there has been a widespread agreement on the fact that it is time to #ActOnEnergyStorage. The European Commission must deliver an Action Plan on Energy Storage to clarify the regulatory tools available and address the remaining barriers to the widespread adoption of energy storage across the EU. 👏 Thanks to everyone who joined the event and supported our call for action Patrick Clerens Walburga Hemetsberger Giles Dickson Benedetta Scuderi Bobby Smith Cillian Totterdell Lars Stephan and many more.

🔋 Energy Storage Coalition #ActionPlan on Energy Storage On 14 October 2024, the Energy Storage Coalition (ESC) hosted its annual event in Brussels, bringing together key voices from the European energy landscape and Energy Storage Action Plan! 🚨 Key Takeaways from the discussions: - Sigrid Friis (MEP, Renew Europe) and Benedetta Scuderi (MEP, Greens/EFA) highlighted the need to tackle persistent barriers to energy storage such as #doublecharging and boost #flexibility. - Paula Rey Garcia from the European Commission stressed the importance of flexible electricity systems, noting that more than half of the Member States have yet to submit their final #NECPs. - Francois Beaude from ACER highlighted the need for better monitoring of implementation and the removal of barriers to energy storage. He also highlighted #Italy's success in digitizing its grid to enhance efficiency instead of concentrating solely on new infrastructure. - Bobby Smith from the Energy Storage Ireland association urges that if we do not take action on energy storage, renewable energy in #Ireland could face 35% #curtailments by 2030. 🤝 Coalition partners SolarPower Europe, WindEurope, EASE - The European Association for Storage of Energy and Breakthrough Energy presented the ESC’s Action Plan on Energy Storage with 5 key actions: 1️⃣ Provide dedicated incentives for energy storage 2️⃣ Harmonize permitting and grid connection rules 3️⃣ Set fair network charges and levies 4️⃣ Prioritize energy storage in capacity markets & launch dedicated auctions 5️⃣ Monitor storage growth in the National Energy & Climate Plans (NECPs) What would you write on the #postcard "Action Plan on Energy Storage" to the European Commission?

It has been such a busy week! On Monday the Energy Storage Coalition hosted its first annual event to discuss the role of energy storage and renewables in the new political landscape. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion! 📢 One of the key highlights was our call for the European Commission to deliver an Action Plan on Energy Storage, which will play a crucial role in unlocking the full potential of energy energy storage and will help achieving a secure, competitive, and decarbonized energy system. Together with Patrick Clerens, Walburga Hemetsberger and Giles Dickson we discussed some of the most pressing challenges in scaling up renewables and storage: ➡ Market challenges that hinder the ability to unlock multiple revenue streams for storage projects ➡ The urgent need to harmonise permitting and grid connection rules to accelerate storage deployment ➡ Double charges for network fees, which add unnecessary costs to storage projects ➡and much more... We call the European Commission to include at least these five essential elements in the Action Plan: 1️⃣ Provide dedicated incentives for energy storage 2️⃣ Harmonise permitting and grid connection rules for storage deployment 3️⃣ Set a fair framework for network charges and levies 4️⃣ Prioritise energy storage in capacity markets & launch dedicated auctions for energy storage and flexibility solutions 5️⃣ Monitor energy storage growth in the National Energy & Climate Plans Many of the participants joined our call for an Action Plan during the event. For those who couldn’t attend, there’s still time to take action!

#ActOnEnergyStorage The Energy Storage Coalition calls on the European Commission to adopt an Action Plan on Energy Storage. Such a plan will enable Member States and stakeholders to fully leverage the opportunities available, providing clarity for investors, removing barriers, and ensuring that #energystorage can fulfil its crucially needed role in Europe’s energy transition. It should include at the minimum the following five key elements: 1️⃣ Provide dedicated incentives for energy storage 2️⃣ Harmonise permitting and grid connection rules for storage deployment 3️⃣ Set a fair framework for network charges and levies 4️⃣ Prioritise energy storage in capacity markets & launch dedicated auctions for energy storage and flexibility solutions 5️⃣ Monitor energy storage growth in the National Energy & Climate Plans
