Inadequate market design in Europe is more in favor of traditional technologies and pushes the market towards more use of old technologies rather than preparing for the presence of emerging technologies, and this can affect and reduce the speed of development and spread of new energy storage technologies (Ruz and Pollitt, 2016). Accelerating
In the past few decades, electricity production depended on fossil fuels due to their reliability and efficiency .Fossil fuels have many effects on the environment and directly affect the economy as their prices increase continuously due to their consumption which is assumed to double in 2050 and three times by 2100 g. 1 shows the current global
In the “14th Five-Year Plan” for the development of new energy storage released on March 21, 2022, it was proposed that by 2025, new energy storage should enter the stage of large-scale development, and by 2030, new energy storage should achieve comprehensive market-oriented development.

There are three main types of MES systems for mechanical energy storage: pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), compressed air energy storage (CAES), and flywheel energy storage (FES). Each system uses a different method to store energy, such as PHES to store energy in the case of GES, to store energy in the case of gravity energy stock, to store

Broadening energy access is a central national development objective in Niger. At present, less than 25% of the population enjoys access to electricity, and the picture in rural areas is bleaker, at less than 5% electricity access. Generation of electricity through renewables has long been viewed as an important way to close this gap.
The Government of Niger views providing reliable electricity and other basic energy services to all populations and parts of the country as a critical aspect of its inclusive economic transformation plans. It also recognises decentralised renewable energy options as a cost-effective alternative to grid expansion in many rural areas.
Energy access in Niger remains a criti-cal barrier to the country's development. Modest improvements have been experi-enced in recent years. However, electricity access in Niger remains low at about 24% and almost all the population relies on the unsustainable use of traditional biomass (MP/AT-DC, 2011).
In Niger, the majority of population today does not have access to electricity. This study analyzes how the electricity consumption could increase, and whether Niger's supply plans are sufficient to meet the growing demand. With the current efforts of electrification, Niger will have supply capacity of 1,361 GWh by 2020 and 1,444 GWh by 2024.
Mineral coal for electricity generation accounts for the remaining balance at 3% of total energy supplies in Niger. The share of renewables as a proportion of TPES remains negligible at less than 1%, assuming that all biomass is non-renewable - which is not the case.
Despite this rich potential, access to energy is still a challenge for the authorities. Final energy consumption in Niger is estimated at 0.15 toe per capita, one of the lowest in the world. The weakness of this value is mainly due to limited access of Niger's households to modern energy.
