What are Italy's energy goals?

Italy’s ambitious energy goals, outlined in the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), mark a transformative shift toward renewable energy. By 2030, the country is targeting 28GW of wind power and nearly 80GW of solar capacity, making energy storage essential for ensuring grid stability and maximizing renewable integration.

How much energy will Italy need in 2028?

Terna calculated Italy will need 10 GWh of energy storage capacity to maintain reliable grid electricity supply in 2028. That figure, or slightly less, will be the amount available to developers who participate in the country’s first energy storage capacity auction, known as the mercato a termine degli stoccaggi, or MACSE.

How many GWh of energy storage is needed in 2025?

To maintain grid stability, TERNA forecasts the need for 71GWh of storage, equivalent to about 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 evolving energy storage landscape, exploring both the opportunities and challenges ahead.
