RENPOWER ITALY 2025 – Solar & Wind Expansion, Energy Storage Boom and Green Hydrogen Kick-Off

Get involved in the 131 GW market for renewables by 2030!

Date: 27 – 28 February 2025
Venue: Milan, Italy (in-person event)
Languages: English and Italian (simultaneous translation)

Italian Electricity Grid Terna has recorded more than 100 GW of requests to participate in the energy storage auction scheduled before summer 2025. The first phase of the MACSE tender may well be the biggest battery procurement held at this stage in Europe, reflecting the huge interest from battery developers in reshaping the future of Italy’s energy storage market.

Italy’s aim is high – targeting 65% renewable electricity by 2030, expanding renewable capacity to 131 GW by that time, in line with their revised National Energy and Climate Plan. MACSE is a crucial piece of this puzzle, helping manage the on-off nature of renewables like solar and wind while keeping the grid stability and capacity. Terna expects 8 or 9 GW renewables plants, with 5.5GW of utility-scale projects already set to take shape in 2025.

The EU approved EUR 35 billion state aid under FER 2 Decree will boost the construction of 4.6 GW of innovative or high-cost renewable energy plants. This initiative is designed to attract investors and developers, notably in new offshore wind projects across Italy and PV projects, both large scale and small-scale solar sector. It will materialize through a series of competitive public auctions for the period 2024-2028.

The Med Wind Floating Offshore Wind Park developed by Renexia illustrates the momentum, being one of the largest upcoming floating offshore wind projects in Italy with a capacity of 2.8 GW.
Solar energy is not behind of the game: just for the first 10 months of 2024, regional governments have approved around 6 GW of utility-scale solar capacity across 142 projects. Following the recent launch of EDPR’s first large-scale photovoltaic plant connected to the grid, Tuscia 15 project is emblematic of the large-scale solar expansion in Italy.

In a move to scale up a green hydrogen production, Italy is targeting 1 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2026, and about 5 GW by 2030. Enabling the raise of a robust green hydrogen value chain will require dedicated incentives alongside technological capabilities. What will be the next of the series after Axpo joining a large-scale green hydrogen project in the Abruzzo region of Italy?

RENPOWER ITALY 2025 will provide the perfect platform to connect with key industry players across the entire value chain in one of the most promising markets in Southern Europe for Solar PV, Offshore Wind, Energy Storage and Green Hydrogen.

See you in Milan, where we’ll connect and shape together the future of renewable energy in the country.
