Wind power in Italy, at the end of 2015, consisted of more than 1,847 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 8,958 megawatts. In 2019, Italy generated 20,054 GWh of electricity from wind power, equal to 7.1% of the total electricity generation. [1] Italy is ranked as the world's tenth producer of wind power as of the end of 2016.
Renewable energy has developed rapidly in Italy over the past decade and provided the country a means of diversifying from its historical dependency on imported fuels. Solar power accounted for around 8% of the total electric production in the country in 2014, making Italy the country with the highest contribution from solar energy in the world that year. [2]
