The EU is investing in smart grid projects to ensure smooth integration of energy storage with renewables. Through digitalization initiatives funded by programs like Horizon Europe, the EU is building grids that efficiently balance renewable energy, storage, and distributed energy resources (DERs).
The EU is advancing several key projects and initiatives in the energy storage field to boost renewable energy integration, stabilize the grid, and support clean energy goals. These initiatives and projects highlight the EU's commitment to advancing energy storage technologies and integrating renewables into the energy grid.
The process leading to the final package included a call for evidence and an open public consultation which were open from 13 May to 5 August 2025. The European Grids Package aims to address the key challenges for cross-border energy infrastructure in the EU.
The second and final phase of this 200MW/800MWh battery energy storage project is set to connect to the grid by the end of 2025. The two-phase development is set to enhance grid stability and provide reliable, clean energy for up to 96,000 households in Belgium.
