Sphera Energy is pleased to have been invited to feature in the latest episode of the Modo Energy Transmission Podcast.
In this episode, our CEO and co-founder, Mahael Fedele, together with Modo Energy’s founder Quentin 'Q' Scrimshire discuss the emerging Italian energy storage market and the crucial role of Battery Energy Storage Systems in the country’s energy transition plans.
Throughout the episode the podcast explores various important topics, and in particular:
- Why and how Italy’s centralized and regulated energy storage capacity procurement auctions differ from any mechanism seen in other European markets;
- The key challenges developers face in securing grid connections, and what differentiates quality projects in the increasingly saturated development landscape;
- Whether the shift from development to asset ownership makes sense in Italy;
- How Italy’s approach compares to the UK, the US, and other leading markets;
- How the long-term value of TSOnetwork grid connection positions will survive beyond a BESS project’s lifecycle;
Important Note (!): The podcast episode was recorded in late February. There have been a lot of important market updates since, especially the results of the Capacity Market auction for 2027 delivery and the announcement of the 1st MACSE auction scheduled in September 2025 together with the target volumes and technical parameters.
