Utility-Scale BESS Dominates Market
How much energy storage capacity does Italy have?
As of November Italy had 5.1 GW / 11.7 GWh of energy storage capacity. This is almost exclusively small-scale residential system, with utility-scale storage systems providing just 864 MW. To help achieve the target for utility-scale storage build-out, the Italian government has implemented the MACSE subsidy scheme as supporting legislation.
How does Italy's electricity market work?
Zonal Market Dynamics: Italy’s electricity market is a zonal market, with seven geographic zones affecting short-term price volatility and influencing BESS investment strategies. MACSE Subsidy Scheme: The new MACSE scheme offers 15-year contracts for energy storage projects and guarantees indexed linked revenue.
What are Italy's energy storage goals?
Energy Storage Goals: To balance the grid with increased renewable energy, Italy targets 11 GW / 58 GWh of grid-scale energy storage capacity by , requiring substantial investment and development.
