The study highlights the crucial role of storage facilities in transforming the power generation sector by shifting toward renewable sources of energy. As such, the study emphasizes the importance of effective regulatory frameworks in enabling the deployment of BESS, particularly in insular energy systems.
One of the main barriers to the expansion of energy storage investments are gaps in the EU legislation. Such gaps allow the application of grid fees both during charging, where energy is taken from the grid, as well as during discharging. where energy is supplied into the grid (Fokaides et al. 2014a, b).
As the share of renewable energy sources, in the energy mix of the EU Member States (MS) in general, will continue to grow in the coming decades, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can offer a cost-effective solution that will enhance the security, reliability and flexibility of electricity supply.
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.
Making energy storage systems mainstream in the developing world will be a game changer. Deploying battery energy storage systems will provide more comprehensive access to electricity while enabling much greater use of renewable energy, ultimately helping the world meet its Net Zero decarbonization targets.
Against the backdrop of swift and significant cost reductions, the use of battery energy storage in power systems is increasing. Not that energy storage is a new phenomenon: pumped hydro-storage has seen widespread deployment for decades. There is, however, no doubt we are entering a new phase full of potential and opportunities.
