Battery Energy Storage Solutions: our expertise in power conversion, power management and power quality are your key to a successful project Whether you are investing in Bulk Energy (i.e. Power Balancing, Peak Shaving, Load Levelling), Ancillary Services (i.e. Frequency Regulation, Voltage Support, Spinning Reserve), RES Integration (i.e. Time
The Italian tender mechanism for long term storage contracts is so far unique in Europe. It is much closer to support mechanisms implemented for wind & solar. The objective of the support mechanism is to provide revenue visibility to battery and pump hydro storage projects to reduce market risk borne by investors and drive down cost of capital.
In December 2023, the EU greenlit Italy''s energy storage program, earmarking a hefty investment of €17.7 billion. This initiative is anticipated to facilitate the construction of
The panel discussion on Day 1 of the Energy Storage Summit EU in London last week. Image: Solar Media. Italy''s grid-scale energy storage market opportunities are unlike anywhere else, but many challenges and uncertainties around the different revenue streams remain, including the upcoming MACSE capacity market auction.
Italy aims to install over 10 GW of new storage systems by 2030, including 6GW in utility-scale projects like batteries and pumped hydro, primarily in southern Italy and the islands. These systems are vital for maintaining the security and stability of the electrical grid and increasing the share of renewable energy.
Batteries have become an attractive technology for electricity storage projects lately; however, in Italy energy storage applications are traditionally represented by thermal storage at domestic or commercial levels, and by pumped hydro storage.
The two projects in Apulia and Lazio are the latest in a development services agreement (DSA) the pair signed in June 2023 with the aim of co-developing 1.5GW of battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Italy.
Minister of the environment and energy security Gilberto Pichetto has signed a decree allowing Italy to proceed with its energy storage capacity auction, known as MACSE, in the first half of 2025. The MACSE auction will provide 15-year contracts for energy storage projects whereby they will be paid annual premiums to cover operating costs
PV module manufacturer Trina Solar has deployed its first energy storage project in Italy, for its project development arm. Subsidiary Trina Storage has commissioned the 9.3MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Torre di Pierri, Italy, in the province of Taranto, southeast Italy.
Global energy storage developer Eku Energy has signed a Framework Agreement with Renera Energy, a European consulting, trading and development group. The agreement, signed on 28th June 2023, secures Eku Energy exclusivity over 1GW of battery storage projects in Italy.
