Energy in Italy comes 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 .
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]
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]
Italy is one of the world's largest producers of renewable energy. [174] Italy consumed about 185 Mtoe of primary energy in 2010. [175] 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.
View of Larderello with one of the biggest geothermal plant in Italy. Geothermal power accounts for about 1.6-1.8% of the total electric energy production in Italy and is about 7% of the total renewable energy produced in 2010. [1]: 95 The total energy from Geothermal was 5,660 GWh in 2015. Italy is the seventh country by geothermal installed ...
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 ...
Electric power production in Italy from 1883 to 2012: hydroelectricity (in blue) remained almost the same since the 1950s. Since the Italian peninsula is relatively recent geological formation, it lacks commercial coal deposits and oil, so hydroelectricity was the first source widely used in Italy to produce electric energy, [4] and remained the main source at least until the 1960s.
