European Commission wants to advance the use of energy storage in managing supply and demand of electricity, according to a leaked document.

Grid operators from across Europe believe energy storage is a vital flexibility resource that should be incentivised.

Testing has started on four battery storage projects in Lithuania totalling 200MW/200MWh provided by system integrator Fluence, with a view to turning the projects online in a few months.

Green Deal Industrial Plan has been welcomed by the European Association for Storage of Energy, although mentions of energy storage included in a leaked draft seen by the industry group were absent from the final publication.

European policy makers need to strengthen the role of flexibility technologies, write Fluence’s Julian Jansen and Lars Stephan.

The European Union has resolved a glaring omission in the design of its forthcoming Battery Passport, according to Flow Batteries Europe.

EU reforms of electricity market should recognise value of flexibility options like energy storage, according to representatives of Fluence.

The European Union (EU) has unveiled its plans for its own Inflation Reduction Act-style support package, the Green Deal Industrial Plan, for clean energy technologies including energy storage.

CO2 Battery company Energy Dome has won €17.5 million (US$18.5 million) in grant and equity financing from the European Innovation Council, the maximum amount available.

Europe needs to act now to prevent an outflow of investment from its burgeoning battery manufacturing ecosystem in light of the US’ Inflation Reduction Act, the EU-founded European Battery Alliance (EBA) has said.
