Roseau energy storage permit

Why do energy storage developers need a permit?

Permitting is often a problem for energy storage developers, where the process can take years and changes dramatically from country to country. Similarly, it is positive that outside renewable acceleration areas the permitting procedure has also been streamlined.

Should energy storage be included in accelerated permitting rules?

EASE welcomes the decision of the European Parliament to include all energy storage (standalone as well as co-located with renewables) under the new, accelerated permitting rules for renewable projects in identified go-to areas.

Should energy storage be considered a public interest?

EASE fully agrees that energy storage should be presumed to be in the overriding public interest in all permitting procedures. Energy storage can in fact support the growth of renewables in the energy system and ensure security of supply by providing its unique energy shifting ability, as well as its much-needed flexibility services.
