Prior to the Covid-19 crisis, global progress on energy efficiency had been well below the over 3% annual improvement needed in the IEA''s Sustainable Development Scenario. Primary energy intensity – an important indicator of efficiency – improved by only around 1.6% in 2019. Furthermore, spending on energy efficiency is dropping sharply ...
Besides the temporal disparity, realizing the full utilization of public resources and supports also meant considering the regional differentiation opportunity for private developers in terms of energy arbitrage. Fig. 2 a displays the maximum energy arbitrage potential for each state, illustrating the maximum accumulated arbitrage potential for a …
The purpose of this project is to develop an econometric model aimed at estimating the impact of energy efficiency policies on energy consumption in the EU Member States in the period 1990-2013. The aim of the models is to answer three core research questions: 1.

Energy storage can stabilise fluctuations in demand and supply by allowing excess electricity to be saved in large quantities. With the energy system relying increasingly on …
Energy Storage Policy. This paper applies quantitative methods to analyze the evolution of energy storage policies and to summarize these policies. The energy storage policies selected in this paper were all from the state and provincial committees from 2010 to 2020. A total of 254 policy documents were retrieved.
Overall, the weather in 2022 led to a decrease in electricity demand in the European Union. By our estimates, the net impact of weather was limited to a decline of less than 1% in electricity demand in 2022, with the remaining reduction of more than 2% driven by other, non-weather-related factors.
This study illustrates various aspects of the solar and the wind energy potential in the context of energy storage. The results show that for the majority of locations, the cost of 1 kWh of storage must be up to 3.2 times less than the cost of 1 kW of a photovoltaic system.
EMMES is available to EASE members and to subscribers of Delta-EE''s Energy Storage Research Service. Each annual EMMES report can be purchased by non-members for €5,000. The fifth edition EMMES 5.0 report updates and extends the previous report (EMMES 4.0) published in March 2020: Country energy storage data (2015-2020) …
The main energy storage reservoir in the EU is by far pumped hydro storage, but batteries projects are rising, according to a study on energy storage …
NSEC Energy Ministers and the European Commission have agreed significant offshore wind energy targets that will represent more than 85% of EU-wide ambitions of reaching 300GW by 2050. Ireland''s Climate Action Plan sets out a roadmap on how the country will meet agreed EU emissions targets by 2030 and reach net zero no later than 2050.
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has made Europe''s energy dependence painfully clear, just as major policy decisions are being negotiated within the EU on climate and energy. As the cornerstone of the European Green Deal, the EU has adopted ambitious goals of climate neutrality by 2050, and a net 55% reduction of …
8 Energy storage will participate in the provision of flexibility on all timescales. Indeed, the typical discharge time of batteries is measured in hours, the one of pumped-hydro storage and seasonal hydro storage in a few hours to several months, and system

The European energy and climate policies have as one of their targets a 20% final energy from renewable origin by 2020. ... energy storage; smart networks; and demand-side response (DSR) [DECC, 2012]. Utility-level energy storage for electricity systems ...
The Commission has published today a series of recommendations on energy storage, with concrete actions that EU countries can take to ensure its greater deployment. Analysis has shown …
Recent developments in the electricity sector encourage a high penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). In addition, European policies are pushing for mass deployment of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Due to their non-controllable characteristics, these loads have brought new challenges in distribution networks, resulting in increased …
Abstract. In the history of European integration, common energy policy seems, in addition to trade policy, to be one of the earliest "European" issues, as exemplified by the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM). Instead, energy policy entered the treaties as a …
left the Gazprom-owned storages at low storage levels, European gas storage levels reached record low levels and could have been better prepared for the winter. 1 An energy crisis, following Russias invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, led to even higher gas price spikes and further concerns about
At a time of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, energy storage could enhance the EU''s energy security, reducing dependence on third-country fossil fuels, strengthening …

In 2020, the European Commission published a study on energy storage, which summarized some previous studies and reports, explored current and potential …
This paper presents a SWOT analysis of the impact of recent EU regulatory changes on the business case for energy storage (ES) using the UK as a case study. ES technologies (such as batteries) are key enablers for increasing the share of renewable energy generation and hence decarbonising the electricity system. As such, recent …
The Commission attested ''renewable energy […] an overriding public interest'' (European Commission, 2022a, p. 11), thus justifying the comprehensive REPowerEU policy package and its profound impact on the European energy system.
EU energy policy is based on the principles of decarbonisation, competitiveness, security of supply and sustainability. Its objectives include ensuring the functioning of the energy …
On 14 December 2023, the Council and Parliament reached a provisional agreement to reform the EU''s Electricity Market Design (EMD), with the goal of reducing dependence on volatile fossil fuel prices. The text emphasises energy storage as a key solution in achieving energy security and decarbonisation.
