Covering 28 markets, the report finds that Italy’s target of 50 GWh battery capacity by 2030, as well as the country opening up its ancillary markets to BESS, puts it ahead of the pack. In the United Kingdom, Aurora estimated installed BESS capacity on Great Britain’s electricity grid would more than double by 2030, up from 4.3 GW to 10.6 GW.
While Northern Italy currently has the largest installed BESS capacity in the country, a build-out of RES in the South is increasing energy price volatility, creating a more compelling investment case for BESS in this region.
