This modular marvel (think energy storage Lego for neighborhoods) lets communities from Sicilian coasts to Tuscan villages store solar power, slash grid bills, and hit 90% self-sufficiency.
[pdf] Italy has taken a major step forward in its energy transition efforts, giving the green light to 361 MW of new battery energy storage systems (BESS) spread across three regions—Lazio, Puglia, and Sardinia.
[pdf] IGAT, an Italian chemical company belonging to The SIAD Group and specializing in the production of industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, and EDP Energia Italia, the Italian division of the EDP Group and a European leader in distributed solar generation, have signed a partnership to build a distributed generation (DG) photovoltaic plant—the largest EDP project in Italy integrated with a storage system.
[pdf] New solar plant near Palermo, Sicily, will supply up to 7,000 Italian households with green electricity. RWE has commissioned its first solar plant in Italy. The 8.3 megawatt (MWac) Bosco ground-mounted solar plant consists of around 15,000 bifacial modules.
[pdf] In March 2025, a lithium-ion battery storage facility explosion near Tripoli, Libya, injured 17 workers and reignited global concerns about renewable energy infrastructure safety [1]. This incident followed Italy's 2023 thermal runaway disaster in Sicily that caused €40 million in grid damage.
[pdf] A solar plant with about 5,000 panels caught fire earlier this week in Sardinia, Italy. Police are investigating suspected arson. From pv magazine Italy A PV system of about 5,000 panels caught fire in Viddalba, Sardinia, on Sept. 8, in what local associations say was a deliberate act.
