6 FAQs about [Italian integrated energy storage technology]
Are battery energy storage systems needed in Italy?
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.
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.
Where will EP Produzione build a battery energy storage system?
EP Produzione will build 170 MW of battery energy storage systems with a two-hour storage duration at two sites. One project will be located at the company’s Fiume Santo coal-fired power plant in Sardinia, originally set up in the 1960s.
How many storage systems are there in Italy?
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.
What are Italy's energy goals?
Italy’s ambitious energy goals, outlined in the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), mark a transformative shift toward renewable energy. By 2030, the country is targeting 28GW of wind power and nearly 80GW of solar capacity, making energy storage essential for ensuring grid stability and maximizing renewable integration.
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.
