The European Union’s transition to a renewable-energy-powered electricity grid will fail unless it does more to support and promote energy storage, according to the Energy Storage Coalition.

“No other policy in play right now” could be “more immediate or more impactful” than a ‘standalone’ Investment Tax Credit (ITC) in the US for energy storage, the CEO of the national Energy Storage Association has said.

Trade associations the Australian Solar Council and counterpart the Energy Storage Council have merged together to form the national Smart Energy Council.
