Second-life battery energy storage policy
This brief discusses the benefits and challenges of repurposing electric vehicle (EV) batteries for stationary storage after they have completed their first life in a vehicle. EV battery recycling has received more attention than the opportunity to first repurpose EV batteries. EV battery. . Reusing these retired batteries as second-life batteries (SLBs) for battery energy storage systems can offer significant economic and environmental benefits. They typically do so with 70-80% of their original capacity intact, a residual value that. . This paper investigates how using end-of-life LIBs in stationary applications can bring us closer to meeting the sustainable development goals (SDGs) highlighted by the United Nations.

Netherlands energy storage policy updates
The Energy Storage Roadmap update emphasizes the importance of energy storage as part of a flexible energy system, without setting a specific national target. Through the Chamber letter sent, the progress of actions is now reviewed and updated. In 2024, the Netherlands had a 19. 8% share of renewables (ie, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal heat, biomass, renewable cold and ambient heat) in its energy mix. This. . The Netherlands aims to reach climate neutrality by 2050 (see trajectory in Figure 1) and deliver a 55 % greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction by 2030 compared with 1990. 3 % between 2005 and 2023. . Netherlands' climate minister has allocated €100 million in subsidies to the deployment of 'time-shifting' battery storage with solar PV projects for next year, an acceleration of a larger €400 million-plus programme. This is resulting in higher levels of congestion in the. .

Lisbon energy storage policy
In the past 18 months Lisbon introduced a streamlined licensing code, approved €100 M in Plano de Recuperação e Resiliência grants for 43 storage projects, and is drafting a 750 MVA capacity auction to go live before January 2026. . PNEC 2030 establishes clear goals for scaling up renewable energy capacity. By the end of the decade, it aims to install: 20. These two sources alone will contribute more than 33 GW of intermittent renewable capacity, in addition to. . Lisbon's iconic yellow trams zipping through streets powered entirely by stored solar energy. While we're not quite there yet, the Lisbon Energy Storage Project Bidding process for 2025 could make this vision a reality. As Europe's first major urban battery storage initiative of its scale, it's. . When renewables supplied roughly 80% of Portugal's electricity in July 2025, prices in the wholesale market briefly slid below zero—great for generators selling excess electrons, confusing for consumers who still paid standard tariffs. Batteries smooth out those extremes, allowing energy to be. . Portugal's installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year.
