Overview

As Europe moves towards a greater share of energy generated by renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar photovoltaic (PV), our energy systems will require a greater degree of flexibility to adjust for the fluctuations in energy production. Energy storage is – in combination with other technologies – well suited to respond to this challenge and ensure a continued security of energy supply at any time. The EERA Joint programme for Energy Storage is the first pan-European programme to bring together all major fields of energy storage research. JPES therefore represents a unique opportunity to align research and development activities in the field.
