Italy is racing to meet 2030 renewables targets, but faces grid, permitting, and skills hurdles. Explore what this means for the clean energy workforce.
Italy has approved 361 MW of battery energy storage systems to support renewable energy and grid stability across Lazio, Puglia, and Sardinia.
Due to the imminent delivery of the large-scale storage project in the capacity auction and the launch of the MACSE auction mechanism, Italy''s energy storage has strong growth potential. It is
Changing electrochemical energy storage regulations will dramatically increase the deployment of Italian BESS, Davide Tinazzi, CEO of renewables equipment maker Energy S.p.A, tells ESS News. The
As Italy’s energy mix is increasingly composed of variable renewable energy sources, electricity storage will be needed to integrate power generated by renewables into the national grid and make it available when sun and wind energy are not accessible.
Accordingly, there is a growing market for industrial energy storage and commercial energy storage projects, positioning Italy as a leader in advanced Italy storage solutions and renewable energy Italy initiatives.
In addition, electricity storage is critical to avoid congestion in the power grid since most of the renewable production originates in Southern Italy but is consumed mostly in the north. Therefore, PNIEC also provides for the installation of new energy storage infrastructure with the aim of reaching 22.5 GW of installed storage capacity by 2030.
As of Sep. 30, 2024, Italy had a cumulative 692,386 energy storage systems, with a total rated power of 5,034 MW and an energy storage capacity of 11,388 MWh. Almost all of the systems – 92% – had a capacity of less than 20 kWh, 99.9% were twinned with solar panels, and 99.1% were home installations.
Therefore, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are needed in Italy. The Italian market for BESS is growing rapidly and currently amounts to 2.3 GW but it almost exclusively consists of residential scale systems, associated with small scale solar plants, having a capacity of less than 20 kWh.
Anie reported Italy added 168,550 energy storage units from January to the end of September 2024, with a total rated power of 1,591 MW and a capacity of 4,387 MWh.
