What is the Italian tender mechanism for long term storage contracts?
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.
Are Italy's new storage projects being delivered under the tender mechanism?
Chart 1 highlights Terna’s view that most of Italy’s new storage projects being delivered under the tender mechanism going forward, particularly in Southern Italy and the Islands (where renewable deployment is expected to be highest).
How much will a battery cost in /27?
That trend is expected to continue. In /27, the average pack price is expected to fall below $100/kWh, based on raw material costs, competition, and pressure from alternative technology such as Na-ion batteries, which could be 30% cheaper than LFP devices when production of the former is scaled up.
How will Italy invest in merchant Bess capacity?
Investment in merchant BESS capacity is set to be more focused in the north of Italy or as merchant tranches of projects covered under long term contracts in the South and Islands. Now let’s consider how the long term will work. The Italian tender mechanism for long term storage contracts is so far unique in Europe.
Why has Italy ratified a long-term contract support mechanism?
Italy has recently ratified a long-term contract support mechanism for storage that is set to unlock a wave of new investment. The driving factor behind this new support mechanism is the scale of Italy’s solar deployment.
How does Terna recover costs for the long-term contract support?
Terna then recovers costs for the long-term contract support via sale of the virtual flex products (via GME) and by collecting the majority of MSD revenues (95%) achieved by the storage operators.

Italy’s ambitious drive towards renewable energy integration, targeting 50 GW solar and 28.1 GW wind capacity by , has created distinct pathways for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) investments – the MACSE auction and Capacity Market auctions.Choosing between these mechanisms involves
Under the new mechanism Terna (the system operator) will tender directly for large volumes of storage capacity under long term contracts (e.g. 12-14 year duration). Storage developers will bid for fixed price contracts partially indexed to inflation, ensuring long term revenue stability. While all
Battery storage projects between 5–15 kWh make up the bulk of Italy’s battery storage market. In most cases, these systems are customer-sited and coupled with solar PV systems. For example, in the case of the super bonus, if the cost of a residential PV + storage installation is EUR 10.000, the
