6 FAQs about [Eastern European Energy Storage Project Subsidy Policy]
Does Europe support battery energy storage?
Policy support for battery energy storage is gaining momentum across Europe as national governments remove regulatory barriers and the EU pledges financial support for this emerging technology.
Should energy storage operators compete for subsidy contracts?
In several countries, revised capacity markets now allow energy storage operators to compete for subsidy contracts on a more equal footing with power generators. Support from the European Battery Alliance and €1 billion in loans from the European Investment Bank in 2020 alone should help shore up investor confidence.
Why is energy storage important in the EU?
It can also facilitate the electrification of different economic sectors, notably buildings and transport. The main energy storage method in the EU is by far 'pumped hydro' storage, but battery storage projects are rising. A variety of new technologies to store energy are also rapidly developing and becoming increasingly market-competitive.
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 did Europe's storage capacity installation rate fall 40% in 2019?
The storage capacity installation rate in Europe fell by 40% year on year in 2019, according to a report by the International Energy Agency. This decline was largely due to sluggish deployment of grid-scale applications, while behind-the-meter installations have fared much better, the report noted.
Are EU lawmakers lifting market barriers for energy storage?
EU lawmakers are also beginning to lift market barriers for energy storage. The EU’s revised electricity directive (2019/944) stipulates that transmission system operators and distribution system operators should not own or operate storage facilities unless circumstances are exceptional.
