6 FAQs about [European photovoltaic energy storage technology]
What does the European Commission say about energy storage?
The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a staff working document, providing an outlook of the EU’s current regulatory, market, and financing framework for storage and identifies barriers, opportunities and best practices for its development and deployment.
What are the benefits of battery energy storage in Europe?
Increasing the use of renewables in the energy mix allows energy imports to be reduced, with clear benefits for Europe’s energy independence and security. The decarbonisation of the energy mix and reductions in overall CO2 emissions are other clear, positive outcomes of an increased use of Battery Energy Storage in Europe.
Why is battery storage so important for solar power Europe?
Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, said, “ Growing battery storage and flexibility represents a fundamental shift from our current grid-centric view of the market. It impacts not only the way we plan infrastructure and the way we operate the system, but also the markets we engage with.
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.
Does energy storage contribute to the security of electricity supply in Europe?
Funded by the Commission, this independent study, entitled “ Energy Storage Study - Contribution to the security of electricity supply in Europe ”, analyses the different flexibility energy storage options that will be needed to reap the full potential of the large share of variable energy sources in the power system.
Can battery energy storage solve Europe's energy challenges?
In order to deploy renewables and to release their potential for ensuring a stable and secure energy supply, Europe needs to work to overcome the intrinsic limits of renewables. One solution to these challenges is Battery Energy Storage.
