The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules a €17.7 billion Italian scheme to support the construction and operation of a centralised electricity storage system.
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 an average capacity of less than 20 kWh.
Italy, like much of Europe, is undergoing a rapid transformation in how it generates and distributes energy. With solar PV and wind power ramping up quickly, grid operators are increasingly reliant on energy storage systems to manage variability and avoid curtailment of renewable energy during periods of oversupply.
More specifically, 311,189 storage systems were present in Italy in mid- 2023, with a total power of 2,329 MW and a maximum capacity of 3,946 MWh.
