Panel Discusses European Energy Storage Policy with Focus on Individual Member States and Market Growth Trends

The session focuses on European storage policy, featuring a distinguished panel and multiple presentations. The event is moderated by Lars Stephan from Fluence, who has extensive experience in the storage industry and policy within the EMEA region. Lars Stephan emphasizes the critical role of energy storage policies in shaping markets across Europe, influencing what energy storage assets can do and how they are valued. He highlights that while there is EU-level policy guidance, individual member states have unique market designs depending on their specific needs and renewable aspirations. The session will start with an introduction by Elodie Perret about EU-level policies followed by detailed discussions on various member states: Claudia Günther will cover Germany, Luz Carmen Perez Sanchez will discuss Spain, and Aleksandra Radwanska will focus on Poland. The aim is to understand different aspects of these markets as Europe enters a phase of exponential growth in the energy storage sector leading up to 2030. Additionally, participants' questions regarding other markets like Italy and Netherlands may be addressed during the Q&A session if time permits.

Talk of session: Electricity Market Reform (EMR) & More - The State of EU Policies to Support Energy Storage

In the first quarter of 2023, the EU Commission produced a veritable torrent of favorable policy proposals, with the Electricity Market Reform (EMR) at its core and backed by recommendations to the EU Member States to ensure the more wide-spread deployment of energy storage. At the last ees Europe Conference, we discussed these proposals in detail - but what has happened since then? What actions and measures have followed and how effective will they be in unlocking the potential of energy storage?In this panel, we will discuss the state of implementation of the EU energy storage policy, what has gone well, what has not, and what more should be done.
