However, for storage to realize its full potential, a robust regulatory framework is needed. In the European Union (EU), the role energy storage plays in EU power markets will be formally recognized in the Electricity Market Design Directive (recast), which is expected to be adopted in Q1/Q2 2019.
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.
There is a need to establish an appropriate legal framework particularly in light of the number of new initiatives coming forwards. For example, EDF has presented a major electrical storage plan with the objective of becoming the European leader in the sector by 2035.
2. Calls on the Commission to develop a comprehensive strategy on energy storage to enable the transformation to a highly energy-efficient and renewables-based economy taking into account all available technologies as well as close-to-market technologies and keeping a technology-neutral approach to ensure a level playing field; 3.
having regard to Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, – having regard to the briefing paper of the European Court of Auditors of 1 April 2019 entitled ‘Review No 04/2019: EU support for energy storage’,
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.
Regulatory progress for energy storage in Europe
In France, except for pumped storage, energy storage remains limited, but a forecast recently published by the French energy regulator (CRE) reports a potential of between 1 and 4 GW by 2030.
