Italy is stepping into a new energy era with the MACSE auction in early 2025. Underpinning MACSE, or Meccanismo di Assegnazione Centralizzata per la Sostenibilità Energetica, is an ambitious plan to boost renewable energy integration and support up to 50GWh of energy storage by 2030 – a move to ensure Italy’s energy security and sustainability.
Italy is arguably the most vibrant European energy storage market at present. It is forecast that Italy will deploy more energy storage capacity than any other European nation in 2024, reaching a total of 7.7GWh, which will equate to more than a third of the total storage capacity deployed in Europe this year (see chart below).
Accordingly, there is a growing market for industrial energy storage and commercial energy storage projects, positioning Italy as a leader in advanced Italy storage solutions and renewable energy Italy initiatives.
In the broader EU landscape, where there’s a collective push for 42.5% renewables in energy consumption by 2030, Italy’s focus on advanced storage tech sets them apart from EU neighbours still heavily invested in traditional grid upgrades.
In support of these ambitious objectives, the Italian government recently received approval from the EU Commission for investment schemes aimed at developing at least 70 GWh of utility-scale storage—an initiative projected to attract over €17 billion in investments over the next decade.
From ESS News 2025 is set to see rapid growth in investment in the Italian energy storage sector, led by battery energy storage systems (BESS), with the implementation of MACSE. The eagerly anticipated procurement exercise will offer a stable, predictable premium over 15 years, making it particularly attractive for risk-averse investors.
