According to IRENA, the total investment in solar energy in Italy reached approximately €10 billion in 2021. Solar energy is a key element of Italy’s strategy to transition to renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The country aims to achieve a 55% reduction in emissions by 2030, in line with EU targets.
In support of these ambitious objectives, the Italian government recently received approval from the EU Commission for investment schemes aimed at developing at least 70 GWh of utility-scale storage—an initiative projected to attract over €17 billion in investments over the next decade.
As of 2022, Italy boasts a total installed solar capacity of approximately 25 GW, making it one of the leading countries in solar energy production. According to the Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE), solar energy accounted for around 9.5% of Italy’s total electricity generation, significantly contributing to the nation’s renewable energy mix.
The potential for solar energy varies across Italy, with certain regions being more favorable for solar installations: Southern Italy: Regions such as Sicily and Apulia benefit from high solar irradiation levels, making them prime locations for solar farms.
