Does Italy need electricity storage?
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.
Where in Italy will a new battery energy storage system be built?
The largest project, a 160 MW facility, will be built in the municipality of Tuscania. Italy’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (Mase) has issued final approvals for five new battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, paving the way for 361 MW of new capacity to be added to the nation’s grid.
Why is energy storage important in Italy?
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 .
How will Italy invest in electricity storage?
Italy will promote investments in utility scale electricity storage to reach at least 70 GWh, and worth over Euro 17 bn, in the next ten years. The new storage capacity will be acquired through tenders published by Terna, the manager of Italy’s high voltage grid. The next tender will be released in .
How will Italy develop utility-scale electricity storage facilities?
To develop utility-scale electricity storage facilities, the Italian Government set up a scheme that was approved by the European Commission at the end of . Italy will promote investments in utility scale electricity storage to reach at least 70 GWh, and worth over Euro 17 bn, in the next ten years.
Why is a grid-scale battery energy storage system important in Italy?
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.
