Italy's Renewable Energy Landscape
MILAN, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Italian solar power production rose 25% last year compared with 2024 to a new record of 44.3 terawatt hours (TWh), the country's power grid operator Terna said on Wednesday.
Hydroelectric and Wind Power Trends
Hydroelectric output, after a bumper 2024, dropped 21% and wind power was slightly down. Overall, power generation from renewables covered 41% of Italian demand, down from 42%.
Growth in Green Energy Capacity
Italy added 7.2 gigawatts (GW) of green energy capacity last year compared with 7.5 GW in 2024, in a sign that the country needs to quicken the roll-out of renewables to meet its decarbonisation targets for 2030.
