6 FAQs about [Italy s energy storage capacity]

How many energy storage systems are there in Italy?

How many energy storage units did Italy add in 2024?

Anie reported Italy added 168,550 energy storage units from January to the end of September 2024, with a total rated power of 1,591 MW and a capacity of 4,387 MWh.

Does Italy need electricity storage?

As Italy’s energy mix is increasingly composed of variable renewable energy sources, electricity storage will be needed to integrate power generated by renewables into the national grid and make it available when sun and wind energy are not accessible.

Why is energy storage important in Italy?

In addition, electricity storage is critical to avoid congestion in the power grid since most of the renewable production originates in Southern Italy but is consumed mostly in the north. Therefore, PNIEC also provides for the installation of new energy storage infrastructure with the aim of reaching 22.5 GW of installed storage capacity by 2030.
