6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Energy storage system capacity regulations”

Does energy storage need a regulatory framework?

Our review demonstrates that no jurisdiction currently provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for energy storage, with the majority of jurisdictions currently allowing storage to be defined as “generation” for the purposes of licensing and other regulatory requirements.

What does the European Commission say about 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.

Should energy storage systems be regulated?

Energy storage systems play a major role in this regard. Available options for revised regulation —Ideally, connecting to the grid should imply a commitment to pay for all of the network costs caused. Let us consider, just as an example, a typical scheme for a private regasification facility.

How much energy storage capacity does the EU need?

These studies point to more than 200 GW and 600 GW of energy storage capacity by 2030 and 2050 respectively (from roughly 60 GW in 2022, mainly in the form of pumped hydro storage). The EU needs a strong, sustainable, and resilient industrial value chain for energy-storage technologies.

What does 92/43/EEC mean for energy storage?

having regard to Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, – having regard to the briefing paper of the European Court of Auditors of 1 April 2019 entitled 'Review No 04/2019: EU support for energy storage',

Are there legal issues relating to energy storage?

As set out above, there are a wide variety of energy storage technologies and applications available. As a result there are a number of legal issues to consider, although the relative importance of such issues will be informed by the specific energy storage project design. revenue stream requirements e.g. double circuit connection.
