About us

D-BESS is a platform dedicated to the development and management of distributed utility-scale energy storage systems across Italy. We integrate our project with existing photovoltaic, wind, or hydro power plants already connected to the grid, as well as with energy-intensive industrial sites and public companies.

The energy transition is driving increasing volatility in energy prices, while the grid has a growing need for flexibility. Energy storage systems are not just infrastructure: they are financial assets capable of generating cash flow through Time Shifting, Energy Arbitrage and, increasingly, ancillary grid services regulated by Terna, such as Extraordinary Upward Modulation and the Capacity Market. We differentiate ourselves by focusing on standardized, medium-sized systems – typically ranging from 1 MW to 10 MWh – installed alongside existing plants. This approach significantly reduces permitting times, concentration risk and CAPEX per project, while maintaining profitability comparable to large stand-alone systems. Energy is monetized through intraday auctions on the GME electricity market, significantly improving price spreads compared to relying solely on zonal PUN prices. Potential revenues from ancillary services provide an additional opportunity. To optimize asset management and market operations, we have developed an integrated platform that represents our key competitive differentiator. Its main feature is its OPEN architecture, allowing it to manage any hardware or work with any trader. We also leverage our extensive industry experience to provide EPC services for utility-scale BESS projects. D-BESS combines the expertise of specialized partners, each responsible for a specific part of the energy storage value chain: Così Green for permitting and financial models and tools, Ferplant for engineering, EPC and O&M, Openlogs for market optimization and trading, and Visio Energy for the development of my D-BESS Platform. Together, we form an ecosystem that supports BESS projects from concept to market. Our project will soon welcome new and important partners. If you want to be part of this exciting new venture, we’d love to hear from you.

The Platform Value

By combining these expertise areas, we can manage the full project lifecycle, from initial planning to day-to-day operations

D-BESS does not sell storage systems. We have created a new concept of energy risk management that increases and stabilizes revenues from renewable energy sources.

We install our BESS modules alongside existing ground-mounted PV plants and other RES facilities, handle maintenance, manage energy trading, and enhance returns without requiring any investment.

D-BESS aims to develop 1 GWh of storage by 2029 through an innovative model based on building structured partnerships.

Today we already have the first 500 MWh under development.

Join us to seize the opportunities the market offers.
