BESS solutions are the most talked-about assets in the energy sector, especially in Italy, where support schemes such as Macse and Capacity Market are set to rapidly boost battery use. This will, in turn, help integrate renewables and stabilise the grid.

Project developers, however, face several technical challenges that require specific knowledge of energy management, including new technologies. This is to make the most of the economic opportunities the Italian market offers and ensure a secure revenue structure.

Entrix aims to provide full-service optimization for battery storage assets, maximizing battery performance to ensure reliable returns, also through their proprietary AI technology. In this pv magazine webinar, the company – with offices in Munich, Milan, Madrid and Warsaw – aims to explain how advanced algorithms for trading BESS work and how the Italian electricity market is evolving, securing revenues through different instruments and mechanisms. The webinar targets developers, investors, and commodity traders.

In this webinar, we will discuss with the experts: Francesco Benetti is Business Development Manager at Entrix for Italy. An electrical engineer, Francesco specializes in energy storage with five years of international commercial experience. Francesco will be joined by Salvatore Alessandro Casa, a partner at Milan-based consulting boutique Elemens, and Erik Landström, who works for EnBW as an originator in Southern Europe, focusing on PPAs, BESS, and tradable instruments.

pv magazine Webinar content:

• Profitability for BESS on the Italian market
• Entrix’s revenue simulation analysis
• The perspective of an offtake partner
• Q&A

Audience questions can be submitted beforehand or through the comments window during the webinar. This webinar will be moderated by Sergio Matalucci, editor at pv magazine Italy.

Registration for this pv magazine Webinar is free of charge.
