In several countries, revised capacity markets now allow energy storage operators to compete for subsidy contracts on a more equal footing with power generators.

6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Vatican Energy Storage Subsidy Policy Released Document”

Why did Pope Francis order an agrivoltaic plant in Santa Maria di Galeria?

By Christopher Wells Highlighting the need “to make a transition to a sustainable development model that reduces greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, setting the goal of climate neutrality,” Pope Francis has ordered the construction of an agrivoltaic plant within the extraterritorial zone of Santa Maria di Galeria.

Should energy storage operators compete for subsidy contracts?

In several countries, revised capacity markets now allow energy storage operators to compete for subsidy contracts on a more equal footing with power generators. Support from the European Battery Alliance and €1 billion in loans from the European Investment Bank in 2020 alone should help shore up investor confidence.

Where does Pope Francis build a agrivoltaic plant?

With the Apostolic Letter “Fratello sole,” issued motu proprio, Pope Francis provides for the construction of an agrivoltaic plant in the extraterritorial zone of Santa Maria in Galeria, where Vatican Radio maintains antennas for digital broadcasting. By Christopher Wells

Will battery energy storage be the future of solar PV?

The European Union and national governments are beginning to recognize that battery energy storage will play a key role in the expansion of solar PV and other renewables across Europe. Grid-scale batteries are still a niche technology, and the rollout of projects will have to accelerate much faster to fulfill its potential.

Why did Pope Francis embrace solar power?

In Fratello Sole, Pope Francis roots the decision to embrace solar power in his own invitation "to all mankind," in the encyclical Laudato sí, to make lifestyle changes to counter global warming and the “pervasive” use of fossil fuels.

Will the EIB lend €1 billion to battery projects in 2020?

The EIB has said it will lend €1 billion to battery projects in 2020 alone, which is more than it has lent to such projects over the last 10 years in total. In addition to EIB loans, there will also be grants available under the EU Innovation Fund, which is one of the world's largest funds for low-carbon technologies.
