Recently, SolarPower Europe has officially launched the Battery Storage Europe Platform, a major new initiative to drive forward the business case and regulatory framework for battery storage across the European Union.
As a dedicated advocacy organisation for battery storage technology, the Platform will represent the interests of the sector at the EU level. Concretely, this means facilitating engagement with policymakers, delivering constructive legislative trade and investment frameworks for battery storage manufacturing and deployment.
SolarPower Europe appointed Juhi Dion Sud as Director. Juhi Dion Sud says：“Battery storage is no longer optional – it is essential. Without urgent action, the EU risks stalling its energy transition. We are calling for a tenfold increase in battery storage by 2030. This is vital to sustain the rapid growth of solar and other renewables, and to ensure the EU’s energy security, resilience and competitiveness.”
The Battery Storage Europe Platform launched with support from founding strategic partners, including Renewable Energy Insurance Broker, Statkraft, and SUNOTEC. Over 50 representatives from leading battery storage companies joined the hybrid kick-off strategy day in Brussels.
