CIP enters to develop pipeline of large-scale battery storage projects in Italy

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its Flagship Fund CI V, has entered a new partnership with Italian developer GC Storage Services (GCSS) - an operating platform set up by Ikigai Energy and Agnoli Giuggioli - for a 2.3GW pipeline of large-scale batteries in Italy. The projects are spread across Northern and Southern Italy, with the first expected to reach ready-to-build in 2025.

Batteries are becoming a prominent part of CIP’s portfolio with recent investments in the UK, US, Chile, and Australia, and the addition of the Italian pipeline marks CIP’s growth into selected continental European markets where the system need for batteries is clear. Italy has a supportive regulatory framework allowing CIP to leverage its growing experience in the storage sector to successfully deliver these large infrastructure projects.

Italy is expected to grow into one of Europe’s largest battery markets enabling it to meet its 2030 renewable energy targets, decarbonising the power system whilst ensuring security of supply. The business case underpinning this pipeline is facilitated by the long-term contracted revenue offered by the Capacity Market (primarily in the North of Italy) and the MACSE auctions to be held in the South.
