The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped storage hydropower', which works by pumping water into reservoirs when there is an electricity surplus in the grid - for example on a sunny or windy day - and releasing it when more energy is needed.
EASE will now be known as the Energy Storage Europe association, with a new identity designed to give the sector a stronger visibility. This transformation marks a significant milestone as the association approaches its 15 th anniversary and reflects the central role that energy storage now plays in Europe's energy future.
Energy Storage Europe Association is actively shaping the legal and R&D funding framework for energy storage at EU level. Members gain direct influence in the European decision-making process. Members benefit from the Energy Storage Europe Association's expertise and technical know-how, and they can participate in EU-funded research projects.
As renewable energy adoption accelerates across Europe, the transformative potential of energy storage has never been more significant. Beyond traditional lithium-ion batteries, breakthrough technologies like solid-state cells, hydrogen fuel systems, and gravity-based storage are reshaping how we capture and distribute power.
This position paper, prepared by the Energy Storage Europe Association, assesses the system value of long-duration energy storage, identifies barriers to deployment, and proposes recommendations to
About The European Electricity Review analyses full-year electricity generation and demand data for 2025 in all EU-27 countries to understand the region''s progress in transitioning from
REPowerEU clearly acknowledges this and the important role of energy storage to reduce the use of gas power plants in the energy system [1]. It is therefore critical that the role of
The race to revolutionize energy storage stands at a critical turning point in 2024. As renewable energy adoption accelerates across Europe, the transformative potential of energy
A new interactive platform delivers real-time clean energy storage insights as Europe shifts toward sustainable energy sources.
In Europe, the capacity of renewable energy sources is growing very rapidly, while traditional power plants are slowly being decommissioned. That''s creating a unique new opportunity
