Electricity sources in Italy

Natural gas has been the main primary source of electricity in Italy over the past few years, although renewable energy surpassed it in 2023. However, fossil fuels were still the largest net electricity source in the country, with some 130 terawatt-hours of electric power produced in 2024.

Energy transition in Italy

The share of renewable energy consumed in Italy has almost tripled between 2000 and 2023, thanks to conspicuous investment in the renewable electricity sector. However, the amount of investment has stagnated below four billion euros per year between 2013 and 2022, and the share of renewables in the total energy consumption has not surpassed 20 percent.
