Storage of electricity
What this code covers
Use this class for storage of electricity when the main activity includes Conversion of electrical energy into a form of energy which can be stored, the storing of such energy, and the subsequent reconversion of such energy into electrical energy (e.g. operation of pump storage facilities, compressed air storage facilities, or battery storage facilities) and Distribution of stored electricity into electricity mains/networks. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- conversion of electrical energy into a form of energy which can be stored, the storing of such energy, and the subsequent reconversion of such energy into electrical energy (e.g. operation of pump storage facilities, compressed air storage facilities, or battery storage facilities)
- distribution of stored electricity into electricity mains/networks
- production of electricity not by storage, see 35.11, 35.12
- Compare with 35.11, 35.12, 35.13 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Review the Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mapping type before migrating old records.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 35.16 used for?
Use NACE 35.16 for storage of electricity when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for storage of electricity when the main activity includes Conversion of electrical energy into a form of energy which can be stored, the storing of such energy, and the subsequent reconversion of such energy into electrical energy (e.g. operation of pump storage facilities, compressed air storage facilities, or battery storage facilities) and Distribution of stored electricity into electricity mains/networks. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 35.16?
Typical examples include Conversion of electrical energy into a form of energy which can be stored, the storing of such energy, and the subsequent reconversion of such energy into electrical energy (e.g. operation of pump storage facilities, compressed air storage facilities, or battery storage facilities) and Distribution of stored electricity into electricity mains/networks.
When might 35.16 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to production of electricity not by storage, see 35.11, 35.12.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 35.16?
Compare 35.16 with 35.11 Production of electricity from non-renewable sources, 35.12 Production of electricity from renewable sources, and 35.13 Transmission of electricity when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for production of electricity from non-renewable sources when the main activity includes Operation of generation facilities that produce electricity from non-renewable sources (e.g. natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels), and from emission-free non-renewable sources (e.g. nuclear). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for production of electricity from renewable sources when the main activity includes Operation of generation facilities that produce electricity from renewable sources (e.g. gaseous biofuels, hydropower, on-shore and off-shore wind power, photovoltaic solar energy, thermal solar energy, geothermal energy, and tide, wave and ocean energy). Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for transmission of electricity when the main activity includes Operation of high-voltage transmission systems that convey electricity from the generation facility to the distribution system. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for distribution of electricity when the main activity includes Operation of high-voltage, medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution systems (e.g. lines, poles, meters and wiring), which convey electric power received from the generation facility or the transmission system to the end user and Rental and leasing of electricity distribution networks. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for electric power generation, transmission and distribution when the main activity includes Production of electricity from non-renewable sources and Production of electricity from renewable sources. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Rev. 2 code 35.11 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 35.11 Production of electricity from non-renewable sources, 35.12 Production of electricity from renewable sources, 35.16 Storage of electricity.

Datasets, CRM segments, KYC rules, reporting logic, and historical joins may need review because the activity scope is not a simple unchanged carry-over.
Review the official explanatory notes for each target code and confirm whether the business activity still fits the suggested Rev. 2.1 class.
