Europe BESS round-up: Encavis, OX2 advance in Italy, Sunotec commissions Bulgaria project
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Encavis secures its first utility-scale standalone battery storage project in Italy, a 65MW/260MWh facility expected online in 2028, OX2 takes ownership of two Italian projects from Hanwha, and Sunotec commissions a 379MWh system in Bulgaria. The activity increases the pipeline for utility-scale battery storage in Italy and marks an early large project in Bulgaria.

Several fresh moves have emerged in Europe’s battery storage market. German IPP Encavis has secured its first utility-scale standalone battery energy storage system in Italy, OX2 has taken ownership of two Italian projects originally developed by Hanwha, and Sunotec has brought a 379MWh system online in its initial Bulgarian venture.
The system is reportedly the first project delivered by Sunotec in partnership with GEN-Is and marks an early step for utility-scale storage deployment in the country.
Encavis enters Italy with first utility-scale BESS. The German independent power producer (IPP) purchased the Ceprano project, situated south of Rome in the Lazio region, from ReFeel New Energy, an Italian developer backed by Gresham House Europe. The facility will have around 65MW/260MWh of installed capacity when it reaches its expected commissioning date in 2028. Source: Energy Storage News ↗

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.

Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.

Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
