Enel: 11.5 GW won in Italy capacity market auction for 2025

The auction of the capacity market that awards contracts for the capacity available to the electricity system (CDP) has taken place. The auction, which was called by Terna, Italy’s Transmission System Operator (TSO), is valid for the delivery year 2025. Enel won contracts for 11.5 GW of a total of approximately 42.2 GW awarded by the TSO, specifically 10.5 GW of existing capacity and 1 GW abroad.

Introduced in 2019, capacity market auctions are one of the tools envisaged by Italy’s Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan to achieve the country’s energy transition objectives, making it possible to close coal-fired power plants by 2025 and encourage the investment needed in flexible technology to ensure the adequacy and security of the national electricity system in Italy.
