Flexibility should be at the core of policy design: the first step needs to be a whole-system assessment of flexibility requirements that compares the case for different types of grid-scale storage with other options such as demand response, power plant retrofits, smart grid measures and other technologies that raise overall flexibility.
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.
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). The EU needs a strong, sustainable, and resilient industrial value chain for energy-storage technologies.
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. Different studies have analysed the likely future paths for the deployment of energy storage in the EU.
The 2023 report included dedicated sections on renewable hydrogen production through water electrolysis, and batteries, which are crucial to succeed in the decarbonisation of the energy and transport sectors. A Commission Recommendation on energy storage (C/2023/1729) was adopted in March 2023.
The reform will amend the Transmission and Distribution Rules (TDRs) and the Trading and Settlement Rules (TSRs) to allow storage facilities to participate in the wholesale electricity market.
The update of the national energy and climate plans for 2021-2030 as provided for in Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 on the governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action (10) should include greater ambition to speed up the green transition and increase energy security in line with the European Green Deal Package (11) and REPowerEU.
Flexibility should be at the core of policy design: the first step needs to be a whole-system assessment of flexibility requirements that compares the case for different types of grid-scale storage with other options such as demand response, power plant retrofits, smart grid measures and other technologies that raise overall flexibility.

There are three main types of MES systems for mechanical energy storage: pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), compressed air energy storage (CAES), and flywheel energy storage (FES). Each system uses a different method to store energy, such as PHES to store energy in the case of GES, to store energy in the case of gravity energy stock, to store …
