The project STORY shows the added value of storage in the distribution grid. We demonstrate and evaluate innovative approaches for energy storage systems in residential and industrial environments. Through a large scale impact analysis and in an open dialogue with all stakeholders, STORY formulates the policy and regulatory changes that are required to realize a promising future for energy storage. STORY is a joint project of 18 international partners involved in 6 demonstrations in 5 European countries and is funded under the Horizon 2020 program of the European Commission. To maximize the project‘s long-term impact STORY ensures that critical opinions of the stakeholders – including business, policy, research communities and civil society – are integrated throughout the process through a series of workshops and a continuous dialogue.
