How many MW of battery storage projects are being developed in Italy?
Fund managers investing in clean energy Nuveen Infrastructure (formerly Glennmont Partners) and independent renewables asset management and development firm Exus Renewables have agreed to co-develop around 800 MW of battery storage projects in southern Italy, with each company co-developing a portfolio of around 400 MW of projects.
Are battery energy storage systems needed in Italy?
Therefore, battery energy storage systems (BESS) are needed in Italy. The Italian market for BESS is growing rapidly and currently amounts to 2.3 GW but it almost exclusively consists of residential scale systems, associated with small scale solar plants, having a capacity of less than 20 kWh.
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.
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 2024.
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 2030.
When will Enel Green Power start building battery storage projects in Italy?
Image: Enel Green Power. Enel Green Power will start building 1.6GW of battery storage projects in Italy this quarter, with the country’s utility-scale market expected to soar in the next three years. The renewables arm of multinational energy firm Enel said construction will begin between April and June this year.
