Ikigai’s Roberto Castiglioni on how storage will power Italy’s 2030 energy goals

inspiratia sat down with Roberto Castiglioni, co-founder and CEO of Ikigai Group. Roberto shares his thoughts on how storage will power Italy's path to its 2030 renewable energy goals. With the MACSE auction marking a new chapter for the Italian battery market, Roberto reflects on lessons from the UK, Ikigai's 2.3GW partnership with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, and what it will take to scale long-duration and non-lithium technologies across Europe.

The conversation also explores how optimisation, co-location, and repowering are shaping the next phase of the energy transition in southern Europe, where the focus is shifting from building more assets to getting more out of those already in place.
