Google is working with a Milan-based company called Energy Dome, which has built a model facility in Ottana, Sardinia, Italy, that is storing 2,000 tons of carbon dioxide generated from a gas supplier. As part of the partnership, Google has made an equity investment in Energy.
The Brindisi facility will primarily target the stationary energy storage market, using a water-based process. It is currently in the engineering phase, with economic, financial, and authorisation assessments due to be wrapped up by the first quarter of 2026, ahead of the execution.
Focusing on RtB BESS, according to transaction platform nTeaser, prices have followed a downward trajectory from 2025 into the first quarter of 2026. "In the fourth quarter of 2025, values ranged from €19,500/MW to €55,000/MW, with a median of €44,000/MW," the firm notes.
