Revise the National Energy and Climate Plan, in line with the European Union timetable, to strengthen energy security, including by defining a plan that would enable Italy to end any reliance on Russian fossil fuels, while incorporating
Residential storage installations in Italy are particularly sensitive to policy changes. The country operates under a net metering policy for residential PV generation, where households with grid-connected solar panels
As a rule, electricity storage systems can be installed in photovoltaic systems already subsidized by the GSE without losing the subsidy, provided that they are correctly
Find out how much solar energy is produced in Italy and where Every year, over 20 TWh are produced by solar energy. Northern Italy has the largest number of plants but the central and southern regions dominate in terms of per capita
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 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.
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.
More in detail, 311,189 storage systems were present in Italy in mid- 2023, with a total power of 2,329 MW and a maximum capacity of 3,946 MWh. Terna (the high voltage grid operator) also holds systems totaling 60 MW in power and 250 MWh in capacity.
Let's see how these photovoltaic systems work and how much you could save by installing solar panels in your home in Italy in 2021. A photovoltaic system is made up of panels that convert the energy of solar radiation into electricity that can normally be used to meet the energy needs of a standard home.
In 2021, Italy simplified the permitting procedure for small storage systems to boost the growth of the PV storage market. Currently, the net-billing and Superbonus (110 % tax deduction) schemes are driving the small-scale solar PV segment.
