Batteries and ESS - New Way to Power
Batteries and other ESS are key drivers of the global energy transition, as they facilitate the integration of renewable energies by addressing their inherent intermittency and variability, balancing market’s energy supply and demand, and enabling decentralized energy systems. In addition, with the increased electrification of the mobility sector and many other industries, ESS can secure reliable, efficient and sustainable energy systems that provide grid stability and support off-grid applications.
Europe has pushed towards innovative and efficient ESS through a combination of policy frameworks, funding programs, and collaborative initiatives. Particularly, big effort has been put on building a competitive battery ecosystem, with key partnerships like BATT4EU, BEPA or Batteries Europe, as well as research initiatives like BATTERY 2030+.

Relevant Funding programmes for Batteries and other energy storage systems
CETPartnership
The CETPartnership programme aims to empower the clean energy transition and foster collaboration among innovative businesses, promoting cross-border projects for clean energy transition. It offers funding covering 50-75% of project costs, making it an ideal step for SMEs pursuing international projects.
Horizon Europe Cluster 5
Cluster 5 is dedicated to accelerating Europe’s green and digital transitions, driving economic, industrial, and societal transformation towards achieving climate neutrality by 2050. This includes the energy and mobility sectors to greenhouse gas neutrality alongside supporting other sectors.
Focus is on innovative low-carbon technologies and processes in energy intensive industries with the objective of launching industrial solutions to decarbonise Europe and support its transition to climate neutrality. For all projects sizes, applicants can get up to 60% of the total project capital expenditure.
Connecting Europe Facility (CEF)
A key deliver to the European Green Deal and a EU's decarbonization objectives for 2030 and 2050. With a total budget of €20.73 billion for 2021-2027, the CEF drives economic growth and competitiveness through targeted infrastructure investment supporting the development of the trans-European networks.
Breakthrough Energy Catalyst
Aims to raise €840 million to fund emerging climate technology projects that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions but are currently too costly to scale. The projects include large-scale demonstrations and unique industrial initiatives for clean technologies aligned with the European Green Deal and 2030 climate goals.
