Energy storage, how Italy secures renewables
"It is reasonable to expect that, when fully operational, all new renewable energy plants will already be installed with integrated storage systems. And where the market does not cover the...
View DetailsThe 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.
The scheme will run until 31 December 2033. The measure aims to facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources ('RES') in the Italian electricity system. The production of electricity by RES does not always coincide with periods of electricity demand.
The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a Staff Working Document, providing an outlook of the EU's current regulatory, market, and financing framework for storage and identifies barriers, opportunities and best practices for its development and deployment.
"It is reasonable to expect that, when fully operational, all new renewable energy plants will already be installed with integrated storage systems. And where the market does not cover the...
