The deployment of energy storage will change the development layout of new energy. This paper expounds the policy requirements for the allocation of energy storage, and proposes two economic calculation models for energy storage allocation based on the levelized cost of electricity and the on-grid electricity price in the operating area.
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.
The Winners Are Set to Be Announced for the Energy Storage Awards! The grants will be funded by the EU’s Emissions Trading System. Image: CC. The EU has today (23 November) launched a grant funding opportunity worth €4 billion (US$4.4 billion) for upstream and downstream clean energy projects, including energy storage.
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.
The beneficiaries will be selected through a competitive, transparent, and non-discriminatory bidding process, where electricity storage developers will compete based on offers relating to the lowest amount of aid requested per offered capacity volume.
Investment in research is key in driving innovation in storage sector. EASE, as the voice of the energy storage industry, is an active contributor of the design of upcoming funding programmes for energy storage research and development and collaborated to the development of important instruments such as the Innovation Fund and Horizon Europe.
