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. Prospects for Italian wind energy beyond 2020 were positive, with several projects planned to go live before 2030. [2] [3]
Mistral wind blowing near Marseille.In the centre is the Château d'If.. The mistral (Catalan: mestral, Corsican: maestrale, Croatian: maestral, Greek: μαΐστρος, Italian: maestrale, Maltese: majjistral) is a strong, cold, northwesterly wind that blows from southern France into the Gulf of Lion in the northern Mediterranean.

Latvia's wind capacity grew by 75%, the largest percent increase in 2022. [3] In November 2018, wind power generation in Scotland was higher than the country's electricity consumption during the month. [5] Wind power's share of worldwide electricity usage in 2023 was 7.8%, up from 7.3% from the prior year.
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). [9]
Wind power installed in Europe in 2013 . As of 2023, Europe had a total installed wind capacity of 255 gigawatts (GW). [1] In 2017, a total of 15,680 MW of wind power was installed, representing 55% of all new power capacity, and the wind power generated 336 TWh of electricity, enough to supply 11.6% of the EU's electricity consumption.
In Italy, two people were killed by falling trees in Tuscany. At least 41 others were injured in the region. Masonry on the belltower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice was damaged. [11] [12] In Piombino, the wind spun a Ferris wheel out of control, detaching at least one of the empty cabins. Winds gusted as high as 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph).
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]
