Italy will spend almost €60 billion ($69 billion) this year to import energy, up €8-9 billion from 2025, the national fuel producers association UNEM said.
"Last year we had an energy bill of €48.7 billion, more than 7 billion less
than in 2024, but this year our estimate
is that it could rise to around €57–58 billion,"
Gianni Murano, UNEM President, said at the annual meeting of the association.
UNEM said Italy's bill for oil imports could reach around €24 billion
in 2026, 4.5 billion more
than last year, assuming average Brent oil prices of $90 per barrel
in 2026.
