Unlocking Energy Storage in Italy’s Commercial and Industrial Sectors

Welcome to the session titled “Unlocking Energy Storage in Italy’s Commercial and Industrial Sectors”. Italy’s shift toward renewables has highlighted the need for energy storage in the commercial and industrial sectors, which consume over half of national electricity and face rising energy costs. With solar and wind now generating 21% of Italy’s electricity, storage solutions are essential for managing renewable variability, reducing peak demand, and boosting self-consumption.

 Key market drivers include high electricity prices, incentives for self-consumption, and evolving policies for grid stability. However, challenges remain, such as regulatory uncertainties and high initial costs. This conference session will explore how energy storage can enhance business resilience, energy security, and drive Italy’s renewable transition in the commercial and industrial sectors.
