Summary: The Vatican's groundbreaking power storage initiative aims to achieve energy independence through advanced battery solutions. This article explores bid requirements, technical specifications, and how companies like EK SOLAR can contribute to this historic renewable energy transition.
Why the Vatican's Energy Storage Initiative Matters
With solar panels already covering 25% of its electricity needs, the Vatican now seeks 10MW/40MWh battery storage systems to optimize renewable energy usage. This aligns with Pope Francis' 2020 mandate for Catholic institutions to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030.
