Search every verified Salvatore Bernabei interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Salvatore Bernabei stated that Enel Green Power was testing a new energy storage system for the first time in Italy at the Santa Barbara combined-cycle plant, which he described as the first time the system had been deployed at such a scale. He said the startup behind the technology was identified through the company's open innovation efforts and that the industrial environment was subjecting the technology to a "real stress test" that had proven successful. Bernabei explained that the system allows the existing plant to operate more flexibly, which he said supports greater integration of renewables. Bernabei characterized the technology as a long-duration storage system that can provide many hours of operation, enabling energy shifting by absorbing solar power during the day and releasing it when needed. He stated that such systems will complement short-duration storage to provide flexibility and adequacy to the grid, and that in the future the technology could also supply high- and medium-temperature heat to industrial users, helping to decarbonize heat demand and reduce reliance on gas.
