3.5.5 ITALY POWER PRODUCTION (INCLUDING RENEWABLES)

GWh/y

Figure 3.18 shows the evolution of electricity production and of the shares of the various energy sources used for power generation, in Italy, for the period 2010–2015. Renewable sources in Italy experienced a steady growth, during the last years, reaching in 2015 38% of the total power production. Hydroelectric production covers around 40% of RES share, followed by solar energy which accounts for around 8% out of the total production. Anyway, other fuels are expected to keep a key position in the Italian electricity balance, accounting for more than 60% of the electricity production. In particular, gas is by far the first among other fuels, covering in 2015 38% of the total production, followed by coal with 15% and oil, both in progressive decrease (complete phase out from coal is proposed for 2030).
