Regulatory Challenges and Opportunities for
Across Europe, countries have implemented a patchwork of policies and mandates to drive the adoption of energy storage technologies.
These policies are mostly concentrated around battery storage system, which is considered to be the fastest growing energy storage technology due to its efficiency, flexibility and rapidly decreasing cost. ESS policies are primarily found in regions with highly developed economies, that have advanced knowledge and expertise in the sector.
ESS policies have been proposed in some countries to support the renewable energy integration and grid stability. These policies are mostly concentrated around battery storage system, which is considered to be the fastest growing energy storage technology due to its efficiency, flexibility and rapidly decreasing cost.
Meanwhile, others, like the UK, have focused on integrating energy storage into existing policy frameworks, such as the Capacity Market and Contracts for Difference schemes. The large-scale deployment of energy storage systems poses significant technical and operational challenges for grid operators.
ESS policies mostly promote energy storage by providing incentives, soft loans, targets and a level playing field. Nevertheless, a relatively small number of countries around the world have implemented the ESS policies.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that in the first quarter of 2020, 30% of the global electricity supply was provided by renewable energy . ESS policy has made a positive impact on transport storage by providing alternatives to fossil fuels such as battery, super-capacitor and fuel cells.
To drive investment in energy storage, policymakers are exploring a range of market-based incentives. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Contract for Difference (CfD) schemes can provide long-term revenue certainty for energy storage project developers, attracting greater private capital.
