Regulatory progress for energy storage in Europe
We are experiencing a considerable increase in interest into energy storage projects from both project developers and (project) financiers, both for hybrid
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.
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.
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.
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.
Electricity Regulation (EU) 2019/943: Sets market rules that encourage the use of energy storage to maintain grid stability, creating a dynamic environment where storage can compete on a level playing field. 2. Battery Regulation
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.
