An operational PV plant in Italy. Image: NextEnergy Capital. A total of 71GWh of new grid-scale energy storage needs to be deployed in Italy by 2030 for it to decarbonise its energy system in line with the EU targets.
It will be the primary driver behind large scale capital investment in storage capacity, with a focus in high solar penetration areas in southern Italy and the islands.
From pv magazine Italy The first solar energy auction under Italy's new incentive scheme for renewable energy, the “transitional” FER X program, has attracted 1,387 project proposals with a combined capacity of 17,537 MW, according to Italian energy agency GSE. Prequalified project developers have until Sept. 12 to submit final offers.
Terna’s thinking The date is set. The first of Italy’s new energy storage capacity procurement auctions (MACSE) will take place on September 30, 2025, Terna’s president for grid development strategies, Francesco Del Pizzo, has confirmed.
In support of these ambitious objectives, the Italian government recently received approval from the EU Commission for investment schemes aimed at developing at least 70 GWh of utility-scale storage—an initiative projected to attract over €17 billion in investments over the next decade.
Terna has identified a target of 10 GWh of additional storage capacity for 2028 to be financed through MACSE. The maximum and minimum requirements for each of the 6 MACSE zones are summarised in Chart 1. Some important context on volume procurement:
