Will Italy get a state aid scheme for energy storage?The European Union Commission has approved a state aid scheme aiming to fund the rollout of over 9GW/71GWh of energy storage in Italy.
How long will a pumped hydro energy storage project last?That duration will be split between battery energy storage system (BESS) and select pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects, though even on the BESS side developers have been touting portfolios with durations up to 8 hours.
What technologies can be used for energy storage?Eligible technologies Terna has outlined are primarily lithum-ion, PHES, compressed air energy storage (CAES), non-lithium electrochemical storage (other types of batteries etc), power-to-gas-to power storage (green hydrogen etc), electrostatic or magnetic storage and electromechanical flywheel stora
