In December 2023, the EU greenlit Italy’s energy storage program, earmarking a hefty investment of €17.7 billion. This initiative is anticipated to facilitate the construction of over 9GW/71GWh of energy storage systems (ESS).
Customer-sited storage adoption has been mainly driven by a combination of high electricity prices and generous tax incentives. For utility-scale systems, Italy has established favourable electricity market rules that enable projects to earn revenues from a range of different sources.
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.
Italy’s high electricity market prices are largely driven by its heavy reliance on fossil gas for power generation. In Italy, the government and the Italian TSO (Terna) have developed several electricity market products where storage projects are able to compete and provide services to the power system.
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. The new storage capacity will be acquired through tenders published by Terna, the manager of Italy’s high voltage grid. The next tender will be released in 2024.
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.
