PNIEC expects, by 2030, the installation of new storage capacity of at least 6 GW (from PHSS and BESS with an adequate amount of energy capacity). In fact, during the coming 10 years there is the necessity in Italy to increase the storage capacity in the Centre, South and islands, where there will be a higher renewable energy penetration as

The analyst said he expects most of the projects involved to be new-build battery storage assets, although the fact that ENGIE''s energy storage subsidiary ENGIE EPS has said it will deliver 25MW of its Fast Reserve availability from a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) project in Turin implies that "some utilities have implemented some innovation" too, the

Energy storage provides an easily accessible solution to southern Europe''s carbon-intensive flexibility problem and will help ease network costs and avoid exposure to fossil fuel price volatility. In the next few months, we will be evaluating in detail the grid decarbonization challenges for Italy, Iberia, and Greece and how energy storage
