The prime source of electricity production in Italy in 2022 was natural gas, at approximately 47 percent of the total electricity mix. Since 2015, the two main electrical energy sources are renewables and natural gas, both accounting for 40 to 45 percent of the overall electricity generation. In 2022, Italy had one of the largest natural gas consumptions in Europe, after Germany and the United Kingdom, and was thus badly affected by the cut-off of exports from Russia, which was one the mainnatural gas supplier to Italy.
