This strategic investment, featuring a substantial capacity of 200 MW of power combined with 100 MWh of energy storage, represents a major step forward in creating a more flexible, reliable, and sustainable Italian electricity grid.
Strategically located in Calabria—a region with high potential for renewable energy generation—this BESS facility is engineered to be a critical piece of the national energy infrastructure. By storing excess power generated from intermittent sources like solar and wind, the system will enhance grid stability, manage peak demand periods, and enable greater integration of clean energy into the grid.
