With these mechanisms, Italy aims to accelerate its clean energy transition while maintaining financial stability. How will the scheme help Italy expand its renewable energy capacity? The €9.7 billion state aid scheme
Italy currently has 140GW of solar PV projects in its grid connection queue. Image: Juwi In 2023, Italy installed over 5GW of new solar PV generation capacity, by some distance the most since 2011.
Trend 1: Residential photovoltaic systems with energy storage systems. Source: Own elaboration using the Tree of Science tool. Summary of the obtained information.
In December 2023, the EU greenlit Italy’s energy storage program, earmarking a hefty investment of €17.7 billion. This initiative is anticipated to facilitate the construction of over 9GW/71GWh of energy storage systems (ESS).
Italy’s energy storage structure is also dominated by residential storage, which accounts for more than 80% of new installations. In December 2023, the EU greenlit Italy’s energy storage program, earmarking a hefty investment of €17.7 billion.
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.
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.
In addition, electricity storage is critical to avoid congestion in the power grid since most of the renewable production originates in Southern Italy but is consumed mostly in the north. Therefore, PNIEC also provides for the installation of new energy storage infrastructure with the aim of reaching 22.5 GW of installed storage capacity by 2030.
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.
