en.Wedoany.com Reported - FRV, a renewable energy developer under Jameel Energy, has announced plans to develop over 2.9 GW of battery storage capacity in Italy, corresponding to more than 11 GWh of storage scale. This portfolio is at an advanced stage of development and is expected to reach construction-ready status between 2026 and 2029.

The projects are distributed across Sicily, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Apulia, Tuscany, Marche, Campania, Molise, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Sardinia. Among these, Sicily, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Apulia account for the largest share of the planned capacity. Specifically, Sicily plans to build 5 projects with a total capacity of 745 MW; Friuli-Venezia Giulia will have 3 projects totaling 663 MW; and Apulia will feature 4 projects with a total capacity of 445 MW. The remaining 966 MW is distributed across Molise (242 MW), Lombardy (201 MW), Marche (175 MW), Tuscany (146 MW), Emilia-Romagna (96 MW), Campania (58 MW), and Sardinia (48 MW).

These projects are all standalone battery storage facilities designed to provide grid services and support the power system.

This announcement comes as Italy's transmission system operator Terna is about to launch the MACSE storage procurement mechanism, which aims to support greater integration of renewable energy and expand the role of energy storage systems in the power system. Investor interest in Italy's utility-scale storage sector has therefore been growing steadily.

Jaime Linares, Managing Director of FRV Italy, stated that investments in battery storage help increase renewable energy integration, strengthen grid stability, and enhance the resilience of Italy's power system.
