The AGE Storage Italy project, developed by the Alternative Green Energy group, aims to finance the development costs of 7 BESS projects in Italy. The projects are spread across 3 geographical areas and the installed capacity totals 688 MWp.

This portfolio helps support the availability of flexible electricity production capacities to ensure the security of the network’s supply.

The AGE Group is seeking to raise a first tranche of 1,000,000 € with a cap of 2,500,000 €.

Invest in the growth of energy storage in Europe

The Alternative Green Energy Group offers an investment opportunity in the financing of AGE Storage Italy, a portfolio of 7 battery projects grouped within the French company AGE Energie I, which holds each Italian SPV project.

Here is the legal structure scheme:

The crowdfunding operation by the AGE Group aims to raise up to 2,500,000 euros in the form of simple bonds. This first tranche aims to raise 1,000,000 euros. The debt is senior.

The repayment of the bonds will be made through the sale of the assets.

Investors benefit from a guarantee which is the pledge of 100% of the shares of each Italian SPVs (7).

The BESS Project Portfolio

The sites have been secured for all projects

Regarding grid connection, all STMG files have been submitted to the competent authority:

• Payment (corresponding to 30% of the final amount) has been made for the following projects: Ariano II, Manciano I, Manciano II, Manciano III and Villalba I

• The files for the projects Ariano I and Villalba II have been accepted, but payment has not yet been made.

The promoter expects project authorization to begin in early 2027.

The location of the projects is strategic, located in key regions where they will actively contribute to local energy balance.

From a technical and environmental perspective, preliminary analyses and studies have revealed no major issues.

Characteristics of the 7 BESS projects (Ariano, Manciano, Villalba):

• Capacity: 97 to 100 MW / 505 MWh each

• Discharge duration: 4 hours

• Technology: LFP + Li-ion

• Lifespan: 20 years

• Efficiency (round-trip): > 95%

• Response time: < 250 ms

• Adapted to services: frequency and balancing

• Key advantages: high efficiency, high reactivity, thermal stability

Energy and Regulatory Context – Italy

Since abandoning nuclear power in the 1980s, Italy has heavily relied on energy imports. To strengthen its energy sovereignty, the country is pursuing an ambitious transition: reducing fossil fuels, increasing renewable energy, and developing battery storage.

Two key mechanisms support this transition:

• The capacity market, which compensates production or flexibility means that can be mobilized in case of consumption peaks, to ensure supply security.

• The MACSE, implemented by Terna, which guarantees real-time balance of the electrical network against the intermittency of renewable energies, by contracting flexible capacities such as batteries.

These two tools are complementary: one acts in the long term, the other provides daily operational support.

Principle of Operation of a Battery Park

The operation of a battery park is based on two principles: absorbing (charging) energy from the grid during periods of high renewable energy production, and injecting (discharging) the stored energy when renewable production is limited.

Project owners: Who will implement the project?

Alternative Green Energy

France

Alternative Green Energy (AGE), a Spanish company specializing in the development of large-scale renewable energy projects. Founded in 2015 and based in Barcelona, AGE is a recognized player in the sector, with over 15 years of experience. It now has offices in 13 countries across 5 continents, giving it a strong international reach.

AGE primarily develops and builds ground-mounted solar photovoltaic plants, but is also active in other strategic areas such as battery energy storage systems (BESS), onshore wind, and the production and distribution of green hydrogen. Its approach is based on an integrated vision of the energy transition, combining production, flexibility (through storage) and infrastructure.

The company has a portfolio of 13.5 GW of projects under development in 12 countries, and has already commissioned more than 3 GW of installed capacity. It also holds exclusive rights to a global portfolio of over 10 GW of solar projects at an advanced stage of development.

What sets AGE apart is its ability to intervene throughout the value chain of a project, from site identification to commissioning and operation. The company manages in-house the technical aspects (engineering, sizing, technology choices), regulatory aspects (permits, connection), financial aspects (modeling, fundraising) and operational aspects (construction and management).

Its presence in many regions of the world, particularly in Southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece), Latin America, North Africa and Asia, allows it to adapt to local specificities while relying on proven industrial know-how.

AGE thus brings solid technical expertise, recognized execution capacity and a long-term vision of the energy transition. Its involvement in the development of solar and storage projects, in direct line with the challenges of network flexibility, makes it a reliable project carrier perfectly aligned with the objectives of the Italian market.
