6 FAQs about [Energy storage export qualifications to europe]
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.
Is energy storage the key to decarbonising the EU energy system?
The Commission has published today a series of recommendations on energy storage, with concrete actions that EU countries can take to ensure its greater deployment. Analysis has shown that storage is key to decarbonising the EU energy system.
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 need a regulatory framework?
Regulatory framework must include energy storage as a stand-alone agent. Grid codes in many European countries consider energy storage as consumers while charging and generators when discharging, which makes them compliant to various regulations pertaining to both market participants.
Why is energy storage a problem in Europe?
The fact that it happens in many European countries is a result of energy storage being seen not only as a stand-alone entity but also as a hybrid between a load and a generator. This is problematic because it makes energy storage less competitive to generating units and consumers, who pay the network charges only once.
