Paths to Success: Comprehensive Strategies for Developing, Financing, Building and Operating Utility-Scale Energy Storage Projects in Italy
Italy’s ambitious energy goals, outlined in the National Integrated Plan for Energy and Climate (PNIEC), mark a shift toward renewables. By 2030, the country aims for 28GW of wind power and nearly 80GW of solar capacity, making energy storage essential to ensure grid stability and maximise the integration of renewables.
In 2024, the Italian storage market has seen significant progress, with a 24.6% increase in the number of storage systems and a 30.4% increase in total nominal power, reflecting the growth of larger and more efficient installations. To maintain grid stability, TERNA expects to need 71GWh of storage, equivalent to approximately 20GW of capacity by 2030.
The second edition of RENMAD Storage Italia (April 2-3, 2025) will bring together leading experts and industry leaders to discuss the evolution of the storage landscape, exploring future opportunities and challenges. Join this meeting that will see the participation of 200 speakers who will discuss strategies to develop, finance, build and operate public-scale storage projects in Italy.
