Launch of Magaldi’s First Thermal Energy Storage Plant Powered by Renewable Energy

Pioneering the Decarbonization of Energy-Intensive Industries

Heat the Change

The electrification of industrial heat, driven by renewable energy and enabled by cutting-edge thermal storage, marks a pivotal step in the journey toward decarbonizing energy-intensive industries.
Surplus low-cost, intermittent renewable electricity is converted into high-temperature heat - up to 600°C – to support continuous industrial operations.

Magaldi Green Thermal Energy Storage (MGTES) is a long-duration thermal battery delivering clean heat.
Developed in-house by the Magaldi Group, this system uses a fluidized sand bed to store renewable energy and release it continuously (or on demand) as high-temperature thermal energy, typically in the form of steam.

Founded in 1929, the Magaldi Group, in collaboration with Enel X, is proud to present its first commercial-scale MGTES plant, with a capacity of 7.5 MWh-thermal.
The plant will provide continuous steam at 195°C and 11.5 bar, serving the operational needs of I.GI SpA, a key supplier to the Ferrero Group in the food sector.

Installed at I.GI’s facility in the Buccino Industrial Area (Salerno province), the plant is expected to reduce thermal energy consumption by approximately 20%, marking a significant step toward a net-zero future.
