Is a large-scale battery energy storage system being built in Italy?
Italy’s Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) has officially approved the construction of a large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) in the municipality of Melfi, Potenza.
How is Italy transforming its energy system?
Italy, like much of Europe, is undergoing a rapid transformation in how it generates and distributes energy. With solar PV and wind power ramping up quickly, grid operators are increasingly reliant on energy storage systems to manage variability and avoid curtailment of renewable energy during periods of oversupply.
Will Benevento have a 50 MW storage facility?
A decree from August 11 clears the way for a 50 MW storage facility in Benevento, proposed by BESS Benevento S.r.l. The plant will use 168 battery containers and 21 power conversion systems to store and manage electricity, connecting to the national grid at Terna’s “Benevento 3” substation.
What is a Bess project in Italy?
54.4 MW BESS in Santeramo in Colle, Apulia – awarded to Jupiter Srl, this project adds crucial storage capacity in one of Italy’s sunniest regions, rich in solar PV resources. 50 MW “Stornara” BESS in Foggia, Apulia – developed by Atlas Storage 5 Srl, the project reinforces the southern grid’s capacity to absorb excess renewable production.
What are the most important energy projects in Sardinia?
The remaining projects vary in size and regional significance: 72 MW BESS in Mogorella, Sardinia – developed by Mogorella Srl, this marks a noteworthy advancement for the island’s energy infrastructure, which has long faced challenges due to its geographic isolation.
When did Italy get a new energy policy?
Final approvals were issued by Italy’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE) on August 5th, delivered through multiple Decreti Direttoriali (Directorial Decrees).
