Highlights

  • Italy aims to reach a share of 39% of renewables in final consumption in 2030.
  • The country is reviving nuclear, focusing on small modular reactors (SMRs).
  • Enel, Eni, A2A, and Edison account for 40% of power generation, while around 1/3 of the electricity retail market is supplied by Enel (2023).
  • Eni still dominates gas supply (2/3 of production and 1/3 of imports in 2023), while Snam and Italgas are strengthening their positions in gas infrastructures and gas distribution.
  • The share of renewables in the power mix has increased by 23 points since 2010, reaching 50% in 2024, of which 13% is from solar.
  • Italy imports 19% of its electricity consumption and more than 90% of its oil and gas consumption (2024).
  • Energy prices are decreasing since 2023. Since 2021, significant measures have been introduced to cushion soaring prices on end-consumer bills.
  • Energy consumption has declined by 3.7%/year since 2021. It now stands 28% below its peak level of 2005.
  • The country aims to become a European energy hub through new gas pipelines, power interconnexions, and H2 interconnection projects.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security (MASE), through Its Department for Energy (DiE), oversees the energy sector. The Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning and Sustainable Development (CIPESS) is in charge of national economic and budgetary decisions regarding the energy sector, among others.

  • Energy Companies

    Electricity:

    Enel, thehistorical power utility (23.6% state-owned),is the largest power producer witha capacity of nearly 26 GW in Italy in 2024 and a production of 35 TWh (-18%) (around 12% of total generation). Enel's capacity abroad reached 55.4 GW in 2024, with a production of 157 TWh (-4% on 2023).

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    Gas production has been declining sharply since 2012 (-9%/year), reaching 2.9 bcm in 2024, i.e., less than 5% of domestic gas consumption. In August 2024, Eni started production at its Argo Cassiopea gas field (10 bcm of estimated reserves), which is expected to reach a peak production of 1.5 bcm/year.

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    Residential gas prices remained stable in 2023 and dipped by 2% in 2024, while industrial prices fell dramatically (-23% in 2023 and -28% in 2024). Since 2021, these prices rose due to surging gas costs on wholesale markets (+38% in 2021 and +181% in 2024 for industry and +5% in 2021 and +34% in 2022 for households).

  • Energy Consumption

    Italy's per capita energy consumption is 17% lower than the EU average (2.3 toe in 2023). Electricity consumption per capita is 9% below the EU average at around 4 900 kWh.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Oil:

    Italy's National Energy Strategy (SEN) 2017 aims at rationalising the downstream oil sector, evolving toward bio-refineries and an increased consumption of biofuels and LNG in heavy and maritime transport. Overall, it targets a 13.5 Mtoe reduction in oil product consumption between 2015 and 2030.
