With regions like Lombardy leading at 1,454 MWh of deployed storage, the country isn''t just adopting batteries—it''s rewriting Europe''s energy playbook. But why should
As Italy’s energy mix is increasingly composed of variable renewable energy sources, electricity storage will be needed to integrate power generated by renewables into the national grid and make it available when sun and wind energy are not accessible.
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.
Accordingly, there is a growing market for industrial energy storage and commercial energy storage projects, positioning Italy as a leader in advanced Italy storage solutions and renewable energy Italy initiatives.
Italy concluded the year 2023 with an impressive tally of 518,947 energy storage systems (ESS) integrated into the grid, marking a notable surge from the preceding year. According to data sourced from ITALIA SOLARE and Terna, these systems collectively wielded a power capacity of 3.37 GW and boasted a storage capacity amounting to 6.65 GWh.
In addition, electricity storage is critical to avoid congestion in the power grid since most of the renewable production originates in Southern Italy but is consumed mostly in the north. Therefore, PNIEC also provides for the installation of new energy storage infrastructure with the aim of reaching 22.5 GW of installed storage capacity by 2030.
As the penetration of solar power increases, grid stability has become a critical issue. In response, Italy is prioritizing the development of grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS Italy) alongside new industrial and commercial energy storage projects.
