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.

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.

The pressing need to mitigate the impact of climate change and to deal with the ongoing energy crisis requires a new regulatory framework in Europe. This is why the European Commission has presented a legislative proposal for the adaptation of the EU Electricity Market Design in Q1 2023. But how would this new framework impact the energy storage market? How would the provision of flexibility be encouraged? How would existing entry barriers for energy storage be further reduced? In this panel, representatives from the EU, utilities, IPPs and storage providers will be discussing whether the new market design is suitable for incentivizing both the necessary energy storage installations and ideas for future improvements.
