The development of Battery Energy Storage Systems (hereinafter “BESS”) in Italy has been limited by the fact that the spread of renewable sources is not such as to produce significant price differences during the hours of the day yet. An unfavourable legal and regulatory framework has also contributed to the low diffusion of BESS.
Alongside the MACSE auction, they touched on grid, project development and opportunities for software and optimisation providers. Mahael Fedele, Partner, CEO of Sphera Energy, said that Italy has several unique characteristics that make it an exciting market for large-scale storage. “The country obviously needs energy storage.

The grid connection approval is usually an uncomplicated negotiation with the local grid operator, which leads to a bilateral agreement between the project developer and the grid operator. Renewable energy plants have priority in terms of connection and if required, extension of the grid (art. 29.1 Annex A ARG/elt 99/08).
The transmission grid operator must connect a plant within the timescales specified in his terms and conditions (art. 23.1 Annex A ARG/elt 99/08 and Terna Network Code, art. 1A .5.8.4). Under special circumstanced caused by the covid 19 epidemiological crisis time delays are allowed (123/2020/R/eel).
