- The project aims to produce over 8 GWh of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries annually.
- Engineering and assessments are expected to complete by Q1 2026.
- The Brindisi site will also produce cathode active material and assemble BESS.
- Future plans include battery recycling and expanding market share in Europe.
Project Overview
Eni Storage Systems, a joint venture between Eni and Fib, has initiated operations in Brindisi to develop stationary lithium batteries. The project focuses on producing over 8 GWh per year of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, primarily for stationary energy storage.
Development Timeline
The project is currently in the engineering phase, with economic, financial, and authorization assessments underway. These assessments are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2026, after which the project will move into the execution phase.
Production and Facilities
At the Brindisi site, activities will include the production of cathode active material and the assembly of batteries into Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The site will serve both the Brindisi and Teverola facilities.
Future Plans
Future developments at the Brindisi site include implementing battery recycling. This, along with the production of cathode active material, will be available to other operators in the sector. The joint venture aims to capture more than 10% of the European stationary battery market.
