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.
During the energy crisis, EU countries agreed to a legally binding target to fill their gas storages to 90% of capacity by 1 November each year, to ensure sufficient security of supply and market stability for the winter months.
It addresses the most important issues contributing to the broader deployment of energy storage. EU countries should consider the double 'consumer-producer' role of storage by applying the EU electricity regulatory framework and by removing barriers, including avoiding double taxation and facilitating smooth permitting procedures.
The Gas Storage Regulation (EU/2022/1032) of June 2022 set a binding EU target of 90% filling of storage facilities by 1 November each year, with interim targets for EU countries to ensure steady filling throughout the year.
Ahead of this year's deadline, tomorrow, the current gas storage level EU-wide is over 95%, according to the latest figures released by Gas Infrastructure Europe. There is currently around 100 bcm of gas in storage in the EU, which represents around one third of the EU's annual gas consumption. Commissioner for Energy, Kadri Simson, said:
New storage legislation adopted today will strengthen the EU's security of gas supply in view of the upcoming and next winters. Faced with the threat of supply disruptions by Russia, the EU Gas Storage Regulation requires that Europe's gas reserves are refilled before the winter, and their management protected from outside interference.
