What is the business case for Bess in Italy?
Revenue Streams for BESS: The business case for BESS in Italy is underpinned by four main revenue streams: wholesale trading, the Ancillary Services Market (MSD), the Capacity Market (MC), and the new energy storage subsidy scheme (MACSE).
Is Bess a good investment in northern Italy?
While Northern Italy currently has the largest installed BESS capacity in the country, a build-out of RES in the South is increasing energy price volatility, creating a more compelling investment case for BESS in this region.
How long does a BW ESS project last?
The average 8-hour duration is split across BESS and pumped hydro projects, with most BESS announced having 4 to 6-hour durations. BW ESS CEO Erik Stromso discussed the firm’s broad strategy and the Italian market in an interview earlier this year (Premium access).
How will Italy's capacity market fit with real market conditions?
Now there’s more room to match real market conditions. Smart market alignment: Caps and floors will follow the Italian Capacity Market strike prices, based on open-cycle gas turbine unit costs. This means more predictable, stable pricing.
How does MACSE work in Italy?
This split approach reflects Italy’s broader energy strategy: MACSE focuses on supporting renewable energy growth in the south, while the capacity market helps keep the grid stable across Italy, especially in the industry-heavy north.
When will PHES & Bess be auctioned in ?
