In response to concerns over underutilization of storage, government regulators have reportedly begun exploring the removal of the mandatory integration policy and the optimization of the NTESS operation mechanism. New energy storage also faces high electricity costs, making these storage systems commercially unviable without subsidies.

Pumped hydro storage is the main energy storage reservoir in the EU1. However, battery projects are rising and a variety of new technologies to store electricity are developing at a fast pace and are increasingly becoming more market-competitive1. Europe’s grid-scale energy storage capacity is expected to expand 20-fold by 2031, reaching 45 GW/89 GWh2. Regulations are key to unlocking 42 GW of storage capacity in Europe2.
