18 Jun Octopus Energy Generation and ZE Energy announce collaboration in Italy
London, (Oilandgaspress) – Octopus Energy Generation and ZE Energy struck a deal to back one of Italy’s biggest battery projects, giving a major jolt to the country’s clean energy ambitions.
The partners have jointly invested in the Sessa Aurunca project in Campania, developed by ZE Energy, an independent renewable power producer and key player in European battery storage solutions.
The battery will store up excess green power when the sun is shining and wind is blowing, and send it back to the grid when homes and businesses need it.
The site is in the final stages of development, with construction due to start this summer. It is expected to be operational by 2028. Once switched on, it will become the largest standalone battery in south-central Italy.
The battery will be able to store enough electricity to meet the daily needs of around 130,000 Italian homes. With a powerful 98.5 MW / 895 MWh capacity, it will connect to a substation serving several power producers, creating a local energy hub to keep clean electricity flowing smoothly in the grid.
The project has won support through Italy’s flagship MACSE tender scheme from system operator Terna, securing a fixed 15-year contract and accounting for 42% of capacity awarded in the region.
