The European Commission will launch its Energy Storage Package in Q4 2025 as part of a broader effort to reinforce Europe’s power grid and secure its energy future. The package aims to eliminate key barriers that have slowed storage deployment across member states.
Specifically, the EU plans to:
• Fast-track permitting and regulatory approvals for battery storage projects.
• Prioritize grid upgrades that allow storage to participate fully in energy markets.
• Mandate national strategies for long-duration storage as part of climate goals.
• Align cross-border rules to improve energy flow and storage flexibility across countries.
This policy shift comes at a critical time:
• The EU has already achieved a 54% emissions reduction — nearly meeting its 2030 climate goal.
• Over 200 GW of renewable capacity was added from 2022 to 2024.
• €100 billion was saved by avoiding fossil fuel imports during the energy crisis.
But this momentum cannot continue without large-scale energy storage. Clean power without storage is just volatility. Stability, reliability, and economic efficiency now depend on how quickly we deploy batteries and grid-scale storage systems.
