Europe has taken its energy destiny back into its own
Gone are the days of Europe''s dependency on Russia. With the cuts in Russian pipeline deliveries, LNG has now effectively become Europe''s baseload source of gas supply. It will remain important for our energy costs

6 FAQs about [European energy storage in the tirana era]
Why is energy storage important in the EU?
It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport. The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped hydro' storage, but battery storage projects are rising. A variety of new technologies to store energy are also rapidly developing and becoming increasingly market-competitive.
How has Europe taken its energy Destiny back into its own hands?
Europe has taken its energy destiny back into its own hands. Let us explain how. Cast your minds back to 2021, well before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Already then, Russia was failing to fill gas storages to their usual levels in advance of winter. This was a clear attempt to play on our gas dependence, to increase Russia's leverage.
Why should EU countries consider the 'consumer-producer' role of energy storage?
It addresses the most important issues contributing to the broader deployment of energy storage. EU countries should consider the double 'consumer-producer' role of storage by applying the EU electricity regulatory framework and by removing barriers, including avoiding double taxation and facilitating smooth permitting procedures.
Is Europe loosing the grip of Russia over its energy sector?
Quite the opposite, Europe ended winter with a remarkable milestone for its energy sector: EU gas storages were almost 60% full, a record amount. This didn't grab the headlines, but it matters. Because it shows that Europe has finally loosened the grip that Russia had over its energy sector.
How has Europe improved the resilience of its energy system?
Europe has made real progress in improving the resilience of its energy system. Gas prices have come down sharply. Since the beginning of this year, they are consistently below €30 per megawatt hour. What did we do? Europe acted quickly and we acted together. We used the strengths of our single market.
Why should you attend the energy storage global conference?
Featuring in EASE’s publications and events, such as the Energy Storage Global Conference, gives you visibility and the opportunity to strengthen your network among storage experts.
