Interested in some of the content covered? Here is a taster of a couple of excerpts from the webinar:

1. What is driving Italy’s strong support for storage investment?

We set out how Italy plans to deploy an additional ~50 GW solar & 16 GW of wind capacity by 2030. A significant portion will be deployed in Southern & Island regions, which will soon face a critical lack of flexibility as shown in Chart 1. Electricity storage investment is key to maintaining system security of supply & enabling RES growth.

2. Revenue stack backtest analysis for Italian batteries

We discuss how the Italian BESS revenue stack has evolved to date (see Chart 2) and how it will be impacted by the introduction of the MACSE scheme.

3. Choosing MACSE or Capacity Market investment route?

We discuss why it is not necessarily an obvious decision to choose MACSE over the Capacity Market from a risk/return perspective and discuss analysis comparing different options (see Chart 3).
