What is a Bess energy storage system?

BESS, or battery energy storage systems, are an essential element of the energy transition: the Enel Group is playing an important role in the growth of the sector, in Italy and in the other countries where it is present. There can be no real energy transition in Italy without electricity storage systems.

Is Bess a good investment in northern Italy?

While Northern Italy currently has the largest installed BESS capacity in the country, a build-out of RES in the South is increasing energy price volatility, creating a more compelling investment case for BESS in this region.

What is the business case for Bess in Italy?

How big is Bess in Italy?

BESS capacity development Total BESS installations in Italy now exceed 6 GW / 14 GWh, but this is mostly behind-the-meter storage co-located with rooftop solar in the North zone. Terna’s plans aim for over 70 GWh by 2030 to achieve Italy’s NECP RES targets — a fivefold energy capacity increase (Chart 2).

What role will Bess play in Italy's future energy landscape?

MP: BESS will play a critical role in stabilizing Italy’s future energy landscape. As more renewable energy sources are integrated into the national grid, BESS will ensure that we meet Italy’s climate targets. By 2030, we expect BESS to be indispensable for optimizing energy use and providing a reliable, sustainable energy system.
