Will Italy invest in electrochemical energy storage?

Finally, in the European landscape, the Italian government has plans for substantial investments in electrochemical energy storage systems, aiming at 6.3 B€ of total investments by 2030 to reach between 30 to 40 GW and 70 to 100 GWh of rated power and installed capacity, respectively, by 2050 .

How does Italy guarantee a long-term supply system of new storage capacity?

The Italian legislator has acted to guarantee a long-term supply system of new storage capacity by introducing a mechanism based on competitive, transparent and non-discriminatory auctions. The system recognises the right to an annual remuneration, in exchange for the provision of the awarded capacity as part of the national energy market.

Can energy storage decarbonize Italy's power sector by 2050?

This paper's findings indicate that energy storage is crucial for fully decarbonizing the Italian power sector by 2050 in the absence of a low-carbon baseload. Additionally, it suggests that approximately 10 % of Italy's electricity generation in 2050 should be routed through short-term energy storage devices. 1. Introduction

How can OSeMOSYS improve long-term planning of the Italian power sector?

In this work, an updated version of the OSeMOSYS tool is used to perform an optimal long-term planning of the Italian power sector. A time series clustering approach is applied, considering time varying input data, such as the time series related to VRES capacity factors and electricity demand.

Can energy storage technologies help decarbonize the energy system?

The aim is to study the potential role of energy storage technologies coupled with renewable energy sources aiding the decarbonization of the overall energy system.

Why is Italy moving away from programmable thermal generation units?

The Italian electricity sector is rapidly moving away from programmable thermal generation units to weather-dependent renewable generation. The Italian government is aiming for 15GW of BESS capacity by 2030 to maintain security of supply.
