Italy’s electricity generation mix shifted in 2025, with renewable energy output falling by 1.5 per cent while thermal power generation increased by 5.2 per cent, contributing to a 2.4 per cent rise in overall electricity production, according to a report by the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Networks and Environment (ARERA).

The report also showed that natural gas consumption rose by 2 per cent compared with the previous year.

Gas imports increased significantly, driven by a doubling of supplies from the United States and higher imports from Norway and the Netherlands.

Meanwhile, liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports surged 44 per cent year-on-year, accounting for around one-third of Italy’s total gas imports. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
