The research and analysis conducted for this report were supported by the European Climate Foundation. This report is part of a series that analyses the battery storage market in select European countries. Italy has both a rapidly growing utility-scale market as well as a flourishing customer-sited battery storage market.
**Battery Cost**: The battery is the core component of the energy storage system, and its cost accounts for a significant portion of the total cost. As of 2024, the cost of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in energy storage, has been declining. On average, the cost of lithium-ion battery cells can range from $0.3 to $0.5 per watt-hour.
The ESS is the largest in Italy and one of the largest in Europe since it can store two-megawatt hours (2MWh) of renewable energy for release into the grid as needed.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
The remaining 3–4 GW is expected to come from utility-scale systems. By 2050, Italy aims to achieve 30-40 GW of storage capacity. There are significant regional differences in the adoption of battery storage systems across the country.
Customer-sited storage adoption has been mainly driven by a combination of high electricity prices and generous tax incentives. For utility-scale systems, Italy has established favourable electricity market rules that enable projects to earn revenues from a range of different sources.
