Top 10: Energy Storage Technologies | Energy
The top energy storage technologies include pumped storage hydroelectricity, lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries and thermal energy
EU energy storage initiatives are a key part of advancing energy security and the transition toward a carbon-neutral economy, improving energy efficiency, and integrating renewable energy sources into electricity systems, and can play an integral role in balancing power grids and saving surplus energy.
On the residential side, around 385 MW of battery storage has been installed to date. The key driver for the development of energy storage in Germany is the Energy Transition (Energiewende) and the ambitious national targets to increase the share of renewable energy sources in the generation market to 60 per cent of final consumption by 2030.
However, energy storage projects in France face several legal and commercial challenges. In particular, the current regulatory framework allows for energy storage, but there is no legal framework designed for its development.
The European Commission in 2020 published a study on energy storage, which summarized some previous studies and reports, explored current and potential energy storage markets in Europe, and set out policy and regulatory recommendations for energy storage.
The EU regulation of energy storage is generally spread across a number of regulatory acts, many of which require implementation at the level of the EU member states.
This is particularly important in the context of EU energy security and the transition away from fossil fuels for both environmental and geopolitical reasons. To help track this growing industry, the European Union has created a comprehensive database of the European energy storage technologies and facilities.
