Green European Industrial and Commercial Energy Storage Cabinet

Why is energy storage important in Europe?

In Europe, there is a growing consensus amongst policymakers that energy storage is crucial to securing affordable and low carbon energy. In May 2022, European Union launched their REPowerEU plan, a part of the European Green Deal, which mandates that 45% of Europe’s energy generation needs to come from renewable sources by 2030.

What are commercial & industrial battery energy storage systems?

Commercial & Industrial Battery Energy Storage Systems have gained significant traction across Europe, empowering businesses and industries to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve greater energy efficiency.

Why is battery energy storage important in Europe?

The increasing deployment of C&I and large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems across Europe marks a significant step towards a sustainable and resilient energy future. As the continent continues to lead in renewable energy adoption, BESS plays a pivotal role in balancing grid operations, enhancing energy efficiency, and driving carbon reduction.

How does the European Union contribute to energy storage?

The European Union (EU) has been a driving force in promoting the adoption of energy storage technologies across the continent. The EU’s Clean Energy for All Europeans package and the European Green Deal have set ambitious targets for renewable energy deployment and carbon reduction.

Can energy storage help the EU decarbonise its energy supply?

A number of EU countries have also teamed up for ' Important Projects of Common European Interest ' on batteries research and innovation. Energy storage can help increase the EU's security of supply and support decarbonisation.

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.
