Overall, since 2014, the EU budget provided at least €1.7 billion in grants and loan guarantees, which add to state aid of up to €6 billion to the European battery industry notified by member states and authorised by the Commission between 2019 and 2021.
The development and production of batteries has become a strategic imperative for the EU, enabling the clean energy transition and as a key component of the competitiveness of the automotive sector. To help the EU become a global leader in sustainable battery production and use, in 2018 the Commission published a strategic action plan on batteries.
87 The production capacity of the EU-based battery industry, although still limited, is developing rapidly and could satisfy expected EU demand for electric vehicle batteries by 2025.
As regards financial support for European battery cell manufacturing at scale, the Commission had, in cooperation with the EIB, envisaged creating a dedicated batteries funding and financing portal to facilitate stakeholder access to appropriate financial support and assist in the blending of financial instruments.
It focuses primarily on the end-of-life stage of batteries and their environmental impact. The Commission’s proposal opts for a directly applicable EU regulation rather than a directive requiring transposition by member states, and expands the scope of legislative intervention to include the complete battery life-cycle.
42 By 2030, if companies implement the announced projects successfully, the EU could reach battery production capacity in the range from 714 GWh to 1 200 GWh. Annex III provides a breakdown of current production capacity per member state and of planned capacity for 2025 and 2030.
