FAQs about Italy invests in energy storage power station
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.
Will Italy get a state aid scheme for energy storage?
The European Union Commission has approved a state aid scheme aiming to fund the rollout of over 9GW/71GWh of energy storage in Italy.
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.
Does Italy need 9gw/71gwh of energy storage?
Italy's TSO Terna says it needs 9GW/71GWh of energy storage by integrate its renewables pipeline. Image: Terna. The European Union (EU) Commission has approved a state aid scheme aiming to fund the rollout of over 9GW/71GWh of energy storage in Italy.
How much will Italy invest in utility-scale storage?
In support of these ambitious objectives, the Italian government recently received approval from the EU Commission for investment schemes aimed at developing at least 70 GWh of utility-scale storage—an initiative projected to attract over €17 billion in investments over the next decade.
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.
