Speicher2030 - Scientific support for the study to determine the storage requirements in the Austrian electricity system in 2030

Austrian and European decarbonisation targets are increasingly focusing on the electrification of various sectors, such as transport, heating and industrial processes. National energy policy guidelines, including the expansion targets set out in the Renewable Energy Expansion Act (EAG), emphasise the promotion of renewable energy sources such as wind, photovoltaics, hydropower and biomass. However, these plans lack a concrete definition of capacities for storage technologies, both in terms of capacity and energy. As part of this study, the IEE is providing scientific support and is responsible in particular for quality assurance, support with parameterisation and analysis of the results.
