6 FAQs about [Italian energy storage power station rainfall map]
Does Italy need electricity storage?
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.
Are energy storage systems becoming more popular in Italy?
Terna, the Italian TSO who monitors energy storage installation trends in Italy, has recently confirmed this growing demand for storage systems. Terna have published statistics relating to the type and frequency of storage systems being constructed.
Is there a real energy transition in Italy?
There can be no real energy transition in Italy without electricity storage systems. And here Enel Green Power is also playing a leading role, particularly in battery energy storage systems (BESS), which are increasingly efficient and competitive, thanks to technological innovation.
Are battery energy storage systems a good idea in Italy?
Storage systems can therefore maximize clean electricity generation and are indispensable for achieving decarbonization goals, thus reducing reliance on fossil fuels and contributing to the country's energy sustainability. To date, Enel Green Power has three battery energy storage systems in operation in Italy, with a total capacity of 133 MW.
How will Italy develop utility-scale electricity storage facilities?
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.
