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).
That is why Italy aims to add 15GW of BESS capacity by 2030 (of which 11GW should be standalone and 4GW co-located). As of March 2025, Italy has got 1GW of grid-scale BESS capacity online, placing the country in third place in Europe (shared with Ireland) in terms of installed capacity, behind Germany (1.6GW) and the UK (5.6GW).
The Italian government is aiming for 15GW of BESS capacity by 2030 to maintain security of supply. The Italian government, regulator, and Transmission Service Operator (TSO) are creating an attractive regulatory environment for BESS by offering multiple incentive schemes and updating the grid code.
The BESS projects that secured a Fast Reserve contract need to provide the service from 2023 to 2027 for 1000 hours per year and can operate in other markets for the remaining 88% of the year. In compensation, projects receive between EUR 23,500 per MW per year and EUR 61,000 per MW per year, depending on their location.
Energy Storage Goals: To balance the grid with increased renewable energy, Italy targets 11 GW / 58 GWh of grid-scale energy storage capacity by 2030, requiring substantial investment and development.
