Italy''s appetite for energy storage seems to be growing by the month. The country is one of just a handful in Europe that includes energy storage in its national energy and climate plan, with a target of 6 GW of capacity by 2030.
Italian transmission system operator (TSO) Terna said that 1GW of storage linked to solar farms will be needed by 2025 to help maintain system adequacy, with additional 6GW of utility-scale storage needed by 2030.
The European Commission has approved a EUR17.7 billion ($19.5 billion) Italian scheme to support the construction and operation of a centralised electricity storage system to integrate renewable energy sources into the country''''s electricity system.
In fact, during the coming 10 years there is the necessity in Italy to increase the storage capacity in the Centre, South and islands, where there will be a higher renewable energy penetration as wind and solar resources are most favorable.
The scheme is expected to accelerate Italy''s and the EU''s journey to a greener future by supporting the energy storage solutions needed for the continent''s projected 80% renewable energy target by 2050.
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.
The European Union Commission has approved a state aid scheme aiming to fund the rollout of over 9GW/71GWh of energy storage in Italy.
The scheme is expected to accelerate Italy''s and the EU''s journey to a greener future by supporting the energy storage solutions needed for the continent''s projected 80% renewable energy target by 2050.
Utilizing energy storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs can improve productivity while reducing power costs and is one of the best ways to achieve synergistic development of "Carbon
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.
