The program was initiated by the director-general at the
European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy, Dominique Ristori, and will be led by
InnoEnergy. “Energy storage is the linchpin technology for the clean energy system of the future, from grid storage to electric vehicles and cordless tools,” said
InnoEnergy CEO Diego Pavia. Only time will tell if the EU can keep up with the rapidly changing world of energy storage.
