containerized BESS project financing options in Italy 2030

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 much Bess capacity will Italy have by ?

That is why Italy aims to add 15GW of BESS capacity by (of which 11GW should be standalone and 4GW co-located). As of March , Italy has got 1GW of grid-scale BESS capacity online, placing the country in third place in Europe (shared with Ireland) in terms of installed capacity, behind Germany (1.6GW) and the UK (5.6GW).

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).

What role will Bess play in Italy's future energy landscape?

MP: BESS will play a critical role in stabilizing Italy’s future energy landscape. As more renewable energy sources are integrated into the national grid, BESS will ensure that we meet Italy’s climate targets. By , we expect BESS to be indispensable for optimizing energy use and providing a reliable, sustainable energy system.

How important are Bess in Italy's energy transition?

MP: BESS are becoming increasingly vital in Italy’s energy transition. With the ambitious targets outlined in the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), including reducing carbon emissions and increasing renewable energy to 30% of final energy consumption by , BESS are essential.

Why is Terna launching a Bess project in ?

To attract more BESS capacity, the Italian regulator and Transmission Service Operator (TSO), Terna, are offering contracted revenue streams for BESS projects. As of early , this has resulted in two waves of BESS projects coming online.

Italy’s ambitious drive towards renewable energy integration, targeting 50 GW solar and 28.1 GW wind capacity by , has created distinct pathways for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) investments – the MACSE auction and Capacity Market auctions.Choosing between these mechanisms Italy’s ambitious drive towards renewable energy integration, targeting 50 GW solar and 28.1 GW wind capacity by , has created distinct pathways for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) investments – the MACSE auction and Capacity Market auctions.Choosing between these mechanisms

The Italian government is aiming for 15GW of BESS capacity by to maintain security of supply. The Italian government, regulator, and Transmission Service Operator (TSO) are creating an attractive regulatory environment for BESS by offering multiple incentive schemes and updating the grid code.

Renewable Energy Targets: Italy aims for renewables to contribute over 40% of gross final energy consumption and 65% of electricity consumption by , driving significant growth in renewable energy installations. Energy Storage Goals: To balance the grid with increased renewable energy, Italy

Italy is in the process of implementing a unique support scheme for storage investors. The system operator (Terna) will tender for 15 year fixed price contracts for up to 100% of BESS capacity. The new MACSE support scheme is an infrastructure investor’s dream: a strong credit counterparty

In order to meet the European Union's energy and climate greenhouse gas emissions targets by , EU countries need to establish a 10-year integrated national energy and climate plan to cover the period between and . In this way, Italy implemented its "PNIEC" [1] integrated national

renewable sources such as wind, solar, and biomass. A significant added value in the decar-bonisation process is provided by “sector coupling”, which increases the need for flexibility and reliability while reducing the overall costs of the energy transition. Sector coupling involves two
