Two groups involved in innovation for power generation, including Italy''s largest utility, have teamed to build a rock-based energy storage system to capture excess power at a natural gas-fired
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.
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.
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.
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.
As the penetration of solar power increases, grid stability has become a critical issue. In response, Italy is prioritizing the development of grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS Italy) alongside new industrial and commercial energy storage projects.
To develop utility-scale electricity storage facilities, the Italian Government set up a scheme that was approved by the European Commission at the end of 2023. Italy will promote investments in utility scale electricity storage to reach at least 70 GWh, and worth over Euro 17 bn, in the next ten years.
