If you operate in the energy storage sector, you’re likely tuned in to the imminent capacity market auctions orchestrated by Terna in 2024. As of October 31st, 2023, the TSO, in the “Supply Mechanism of Electrical Storage Capacity – MACSE” consultation, asserted that the pivotal factor in identifying eligible storage technologies for auction lies in their relative technological and commercial maturity. According to their study, lithium-ion batteries and hydroelectric pumping are currently the only recognized mature technologies. 

The ongoing consultation mechanism facilitates the introduction of new storage capacity. TERNA indicates that by 2030, a substantial 71GWh of energy storage is needed to seamlessly integrate over 100GW of solar and wind variable renewable energy, aligning with the Integrated National Plan for Energy and Climate (PNIEC). In upcoming energy scenarios, storage facilities are set to play a fundamental role in optimizing the use of renewables, contributing significantly to the provision of dispatching services crucial for ensuring the security and adequacy of the Italian electricity system.
