Italy concluded the year 2023 with an impressive tally of 518,947 energy storage systems (ESS) integrated into the grid, marking a notable surge from the preceding year. According to data sourced from ITALIA SOLARE and Terna, these systems collectively wielded a power capacity of 3.37 GW and boasted a storage capacity amounting to 6.65 GWh.
From ESS News Italy had 650,007 grid-connected energy storage systems at the end of June 2024, according to Italian PV association Italia Solare, with a total of 4.5 GW of rated power.
Such substantial growth underscores the burgeoning significance of energy storage within Italy's energy infrastructure. Ninety-six percent of the aggregate capacity came from storage linked to photovoltaic (PV) configurations, with the majority (94.2%) allocated to PV facilities generating less than 20 kW, totaling 515,567 units.
Italy’s building stock is rather old, with two-thirds built before the 1976 law on energy efficiency. Over half of the buildings with an EPC are in the two worst-performing classes out of a total of ten classes. Italy has put in place several measures to improve the energy efficiency in buildings.
Mauro Moroni, co-coordinator of the Energy Storage and Hydrogen Working Group at ITALIA SOLARE, foresees a significant acceleration in the sector driven by decreasing module and battery costs, anticipating an increase in sales, especially in the commercial and industrial segments.
As of 2020, the two bonus systems allowed saving 6.7 PJ/year of energy. Italy’s energy demand has been progressively decoupled from the country’s economic performance. The final energy intensity of the economy (as measured by the TFC/GDP ratio) declined by 6% between 2011 and 2021.
