Following the resounding success of the 2nd edition in 2025, RENMAD STORAGE ITALIA is back—bigger and better than ever! Join us on April 15–16, 2026 for the 3rd edition of Italy''s leading event on energy storage.
The energy minister of Italy has signed a decree paving the way for an energy storage capacity auction to kick off in the first half of 2025.
Introduction This section illustrates the methodology followed and the set of data imple-mented to fully characterise the Italian energy system in 2021.
It provides a route into battery energy storage systems (BESS) for a lot of capital that is pretty excluded from other markets," said Timera''s Steven Coppack, director for power market services. Coppack
Energy networks in Europe need energy storage to enable decarbonisation of the system while maintaining integrity and reliability of supply.
A simplified model of the Italian power sector is implemented with only batteries as new energy storage option. Moreover, the model period is set from 2021 to 2040.

In this work, an updated version of the OSeMOSYS tool is used to perform an optimal long-term planning of the Italian power sector. A time series clustering approach is applied, considering time varying input data, such as the time series related to VRES capacity factors and electricity demand.
The annual electricity demand in Italy was about 319.9 TWh in 2021, with a higher load in the summer season, as shown in Fig. 1. An increase in the electricity demand is assumed from 2021 to 2030 based on the Italian National Trends [ 63 ].
The Italian context At present, the Italian electricity supply strongly relies on fossil power plants, which exploit resources such as coal, oil, natural gas and non renewable industrial and municipal waste [ 41 ].
It is also highlighted the key role of energy storage systems in limiting the oversizing of the renewable technologies, as also observed by both Jafari et al. [ 20] and Marocco et al. [ 84 ]. Fig. 9.
