6 FAQs about [Italian modern energy storage production base]
Does Italy need an efficient energy storage system?
These targets cannot be achieved without implementing an efficient energy storage system in Italy. Italy’s growing need for storage systems is particularly evident in Central and Southern Italy, where a large number of renewable energy plants have been installed.
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.
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.
Are energy storage facilities regulated in Italy?
The Italian regulatory framework concerning energy storage facilities has been evolving rapidly in recent years. However, the legislation is relatively fragmented, given the high number of laws governing different aspects of energy storage facilities.
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 will Italy invest in electricity storage?
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.
