Trade of electricity revenue in Italy 2010-2022
Energy efficiency measures expected to lower electricity consumption
Growing awareness about environmental issues among Italian citizens is expected to change the dynamics of energy consumption. As a matter of fact, in 2018, a significant share of Italian householders had undertaken energy efficiency interventions in their houses, with 24 percent opting for highly insulated window fixtures and 21 percent for low consumption boilers.
At a nationwide level, the Italian government is also taking steps towards lowering the country’s carbon footprints in terms of electricity as well. This has led to a notable shift towards generating electricity from renewable sources such as wind and solar, both of which have experienced exponential growth over the last few years.
