A comprehensive European approach to energy storage
An own-initiative report on a comprehensive European approach to energy storage. The amendments debate the transition away from fossil fuels toward a renewable-based system, the intermittency of wind and solar, and the role of pumped storage, batteries, thermal storage, hydrogen, green gases and existing gas infrastructure, while disagreeing on climate-neutrality targets and citing lithium-ion battery manufacturing concentration outside the EU.

Plenary votes
1 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
