Italian battery storage market pipeline soars,
The utility-scale battery storage market in Italy is drawing huge interest, writes Solar Media Market Research analyst Josh Cornes.
Italy has taken a major step forward in its energy transition efforts, giving the green light to 361 MW of new battery energy storage systems (BESS) spread across three regions—Lazio, Puglia, and Sardinia.
Italy significantly expanded its energy storage capacity last year, driven by large-scale projects exceeding 1 MWh. Anie, a division of national business organization Confindustria, reported that installed storage capacity surged from 507 MWh in 2023 to 3,359 MWh in 2024, while installed power capacity jumped from 222 MW to 851 MW.
Zelestra, a global, multi-technology, customer-focused renewable energy company, has signed a long-term tolling agreement with BKW, a leading energy and infrastructure company based in Switzerland, to deliver a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) – of up to 2 GWh – in the north of Italy.
Italy's energy storage landscape is undergoing a major shift, with utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) experiencing exponential growth in 2024, even as residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) installations decline, according to a new report by industry group Anie.
