6 FAQs about [Europe s need for energy storage]
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.
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.
How much energy storage will Europe have in 2022?
Many European energy-storage markets are growing strongly, with 2.8 GW (3.3 GWh) of utility-scale energy storage newly deployed in 2022, giving an estimated total of more than 9 GWh. Looking forward, the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects global installed storage capacity to expand by 56% in the next 5 years to reach over 270 GW by 2026.
How many GW of energy storage will Europe have in 2050?
Different studies have analysed the likely future paths for the deployment of energy storage in the EU. These studies point to more than 200 GW and 600 GW of energy storage capacity by 2030 and 2050 respectively (from roughly 60 GW in 2022, mainly in the form of pumped hydro storage).
Why does Europe need a secure energy solution?
Europe's industries are diverse, and so are its energy needs. But the common thread binding them is the need for sustainable, reliable, and cost-effective secure energy solutions, Julia Souder writes. For the last two hundred years, European industry has depended on fossil fuels.
Is long duration energy storage necessary for Europe's industrial decarbonisation?
Long duration energy storage is an imperative for Europe's industrial decarbonisation The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not represent in any way the editorial position of Euronews. Europe's industries are diverse, and so are its energy needs.
