Does Italy have a battery storage market?
The research and analysis conducted for this report were supported by the European Climate Foundation. This report is part of a series that analyses the battery storage market in select European countries. Italy has both a rapidly growing utility-scale market as well as a flourishing customer-sited battery storage market.
How many electricity markets does Italy have?
Italy has eight electricity market (and price) regions. The BESS figure is a big jump on the CM auctions for 2025 and 2026 delivery years, which saw 80-90MW of BESS capacity awarded contracts in each.
Will Italy achieve 30-40 GW of battery storage capacity by 2050?
By 2050, Italy aims to achieve 30-40 GW of storage capacity. There are significant regional differences in the adoption of battery storage systems across the country. While most distributed battery adoption is occurring in the north, most of the larger-scale storage projects are in the south and on Italy’s largest island, Sardinia.
Why is Customer-Sited storage so popular in Italy?
Customer-sited storage adoption has been mainly driven by a combination of high electricity prices and generous tax incentives. For utility-scale systems, Italy has established favourable electricity market rules that enable projects to earn revenues from a range of different sources.

How much does a MWh system cost?
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
