Webinar – Italy’s first storage auction: lessons from MACSE and what’s next

On September 30, Italy held the first auction under its new long-term capacity mechanism for electrochemical storage systems (MACSE). This marked the official launch of Terna’s competitive process to contract up to 10 GWh of new storage capacity—a crucial step toward achieving Italy’s national adequacy targets for 2028. 

For developers, utilities, investors, and storage manufacturers, this auction is more than just a tender: it’s a clear signal of where the Italian market is heading and what technical, regulatory, and financial conditions will determine success in upcoming rounds. 

If you’re involved in the development, financing, or deployment of energy storage projects in Italy, this session will give you a strategic edge. We’ll break down what worked, what surprised the market, and what the regulator is signaling through this first competitive exercise so you can prepare smarter for the next one. 

What you’ll learn in this webinar: 

• Which technologies and business models won: Get insights on awarded volumes, clearing prices, and the profiles of the most competitive projects 

• What regulators and financiers are looking for: Understand the impact of recent regulatory changes (including Resolution 362/2025/R/eel) on project bankability and return expectations 

• How MACSE fits within Italy’s wider support schemes: Learn where this mechanism stands in the broader landscape of capacity remuneration and energy transition support
