Reinventing Energy Flexibility: Better inclusion of Storage in the Transition

The consultation on the Pluriannual Energy Program (PPE) is a key opportunity for STOLECT to make its vision of electricity storage and its role in meeting the growing need for flexibility heard. Electricity storage deserves to be fully recognised as a strategic lever for the energy transition. Yet its role is still too often underestimated. Storage, a strategic lever

The growing integration of renewable energies poses challenges for the balance of the grid. Storage provides invaluable flexibility, responding to varied needs at different timescales.

Technological neutrality: a necessity

The future of storage lies in an open approach, without excessive focus on existing solutions such as pumped hydro or lithium batteries. Encouraging innovation will make it possible to meet the varied needs for flexibility.

Innovation, an asset for France: industrialisation and sovereignty

With an approach that leaves room for new solutions, electricity storage can contribute not only to energy resilience, but also :

  • the emergence of new leaders
  • reindustrialisation,
  • local job creation,
  • improving our trade balance,
  • strengthening our energy and industrial sovereignty

Read STOLECT contribution (in French) highlighting these issues and encouraging an ambitious, pragmatic vision.

Together, let's build a sustainable and sovereign energy future.
