Italy had a 17% renewable energy target in its total energy use set by the European Union for 2020 and had already exceeded this target by 2014, reaching 17.1%. [3] Gross final energy consumption from renewables rose from 17.36 Mtoe in 2010 to 21.14 Mtoe by the end of 2015.
Italy electricity production by source Italy renewable electricity production by source. In 2018, gross electricity production in Italy reached 289.7 TWh, down 2.1% compared to 2017; [9] thermal power stations ensured 66.5% of production and renewable energies 33.5%: hydraulic 17.4%, solar 7.8%, wind 6.1% and geothermal 2.1% (note: this statistic includes biomass and waste in the thermal).

The Directive 2009/28/EC establishes a framework for promoting the use of renewable energy sources. [42] [40] According to this Directive, 17% of Italy's final energy consumption must be supplied by renewable sources in 2020. Italy's 2010 National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) identifies sectoral targets and how to achieve them. In the ...
Primary energy consumption is massively dominated by fossil fuels: 73.9% (coal: 5.4%; oil: 34.5%; natural gas: 34.0%); renewable energies cover only 20.5% of needs, and the electricity import balance provides the remaining 5.6%. [25] Italian primary energy consumption per capita in 2019 was 103.4 GJ, 31% higher than the world average (79.1 GJ ...
Italy is one of the world's largest producers of renewable energy. [173] Italy consumed about 185 Mtoe of primary energy in 2010. [174] This came mostly from fossil fuels. Among the most used resources are petroleum (mostly used for the transport sector), natural gas (used for electric energy production and heating), coal and renewables.
Meloni said Italy would set aside an initial 5.5 billion euros ($5.95 billion) for the Mattei plan, including public guarantees for investment projects and 3 billion euros from a climate fund set ...
[1] The main source of renewable energy in 2019 was biomass (57.4% of gross energy consumption). [2] In particular, wood is the leading source of renewable energy in Europe, far ahead of solar and wind. [3] In 2020, renewables provided 23.1% of gross energy consumption in heating and cooling.
Germany and Italy agreed Wednesday to work closer together in the fields of energy, technology, climate protection, security and cultural cooperation among other issues. German Chancellor Olaf ...
