en.Wedoany.com Reported - Italy's Ministry of Environment and Energy Security recently issued two final authorization decrees approving the construction of battery energy storage systems with a total capacity of 298 MW. Decree No. 146/2026 authorizes a 198 MW storage facility in San Severo, located in the southern Apulia region, developed by a subsidiary of Italian company Energy Total Capital; Decree No. 147/2026 approves the construction of a 100 MW storage project by a subsidiary of London-based Field company in the municipalities of Pisacchia and Anreta in the Campania region.

Italy is accelerating the approval pace for battery energy storage projects. In May, the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security approved five battery energy storage systems with a total capacity of 310 MW, followed by another five projects totaling 514.6 MW in early June. With the implementation of these two new authorizations, the total capacity of recently approved battery energy storage projects exceeds 1.1 GW.

Battery energy storage systems play a supporting role in the stable operation of Italy's power grid and the integration of renewable energy. The southern regions of Italy are rich in solar resources, with rapid growth in photovoltaic power installations. The simultaneous construction of supporting storage facilities helps balance power supply and demand, reducing curtailment of wind and solar energy. Based on the 100 MW project approved this time, Field has over 1 GW of battery energy storage projects under development in Italy. Energy Total Capital continues to advance its energy storage business layout, with the 198 MW project in San Severo being one of its key initiatives in this field.
