Modernisation Fund: Energy Storage and Grids
Energy storage and modernisation of energy networks are included in the Modernisation Fund’s priority areas. The official investment framework refers to themes such as demand-side management, district-heating pipelines, electricity transmission grids and interconnections between Member States.
Potential relevance depends on the asset, its function in the energy system, the applicant and the national programme. This page should not imply that every standalone battery, grid connection or infrastructure project is automatically eligible.
