Another 1.75GW is under construction, projects totaling 230MW have obtained permits, and 1.2GW of new BESS capacity has been announced.
What is the business case for Bess in Italy?
Revenue Streams for BESS: The business case for BESS in Italy is underpinned by four main revenue streams: wholesale trading, the Ancillary Services Market (MSD), the Capacity Market (MC), and the new energy storage subsidy scheme (MACSE).
Why is Terna launching a Bess project in 2025?
To attract more BESS capacity, the Italian regulator and Transmission Service Operator (TSO), Terna, are offering contracted revenue streams for BESS projects. As of early 2025, this has resulted in two waves of BESS projects coming online.
How much does a Bess project get paid?
The BESS projects that secured a Fast Reserve contract need to provide the service from 2023 to 2027 for 1000 hours per year and can operate in other markets for the remaining 88% of the year.
