Eni SpA and Seri Industrial SpA have kicked off actions for a undertaking to construct a manufacturing hub for stationary lithium batteries within the Italian industrial space of Brindisi.
The undertaking is deliberate to supply over eight gigawatt hours a yr of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, primarily for stationary power storage, utilizing a water-based course of.
“The undertaking is at present within the engineering part and present process financial, monetary and authorization assessments, that are anticipated to be accomplished by the primary quarter of 2026, earlier than transferring into the execution part”, Italy’s state-backed Eni mentioned in a press launch.

The undertaking is beneath Eni Storage Techniques, a three way partnership between Eni (50 % plus one share) and Seri Industrial subsidiary Fib.
The undertaking “confirms the partnership between Eni and Seri Industrial within the built-in administration of the Brindisi website, along with the plant that Fib is constructing in Teverola (within the province of Caserta)”, Eni mentioned.
“On the Brindisi website, industrial actions may even embody the manufacturing of cathode energetic materials – a lithium-iron-phosphate that shops and releases lithium ions within the cathode throughout cost and discharge cycles – in addition to the meeting of batteries into BESS (battery power storage techniques), serving each the Brindisi and Teverola amenities.
“In future, the Brindisi website may even implement battery recycling, which, along with the manufacturing of cathode energetic materials, might be accessible to different operators within the sector.
“Seri Industrial and Eni goal to realize greater than 10 % of the European stationary battery market, creating an built-in, state-of-the-art hub between Brindisi and Teverola to drive sustainability and the power transition”.
In one other battery undertaking, Eni early this yr accomplished the development of its largest battery storage system, the 200-megawatt Guajillo plant in Webb County, Texas.
Outfitted with lithium-ion LFP batteries, the power was to start out industrial operation by mid-2025. It intends to provide energy when market demand is best, based on Eni. The undertaking is beneath Eni Plenitude SpA Societa Profit, Eni’s renewables arm.
“The plant was constructed proper subsequent to one among Plenitude’s largest working photo voltaic farms, Corazon Photo voltaic Farm, additionally to maximise operational synergies and consolidate the corporate’s presence within the space, the place it operates on about 800 hectares website”, Eni mentioned in a press launch January 13.
“Guajillo will play an necessary position in stabilizing the native energy grid, contributing to the effectivity of the whole area’s energy system, which is experiencing a really sturdy development in electrical energy technology from renewable sources”, Eni added.
