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
Terna has since released modelling forecasting a need for as much as 8.875GW/71GWh of grid-scale storage by 2030, which would keep Italy aligned to European Union (EU) renewable energy goals under its revised ‘Fit for 55’ policies that would reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the bloc by 55% by the end of this decade.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Revenue Streams for BESS: The business case for BESS in Italy is underpinned by four main revenue streams: wholesale trading, the Ancillary Services Market (MSD), the Capacity Market (MC), and the new energy storage subsidy scheme (MACSE).
