The utility scale sector instead is still in its infancy and suffers from regulatory uncertainties, supply difficulties and increasing costs. However, strong growth is forecasted in
By comparison, in 2023, Italian renewables covered about 19.9% of final energy consumption. The objective is further differentiated between the electrical, thermal and transport segments. In the electricity sector, the share of consumption covered by renewable sources is expected to reach 63.4% by 2030, driving the entire FER sector.
On the renewable energy front, the 2024 Climate Energy Plan reports a target of 39.4% on gross final energy consumption. This is 9.4 percent more than the PNIEC 2019. Estimating in detail for that date 43 Mtep from FER out of 110 Mteps total consumed. By comparison, in 2023, Italian renewables covered about 19.9% of final energy consumption.
By 2030, total installed costs could fall between 50% and 60% (and battery cell costs by even more), driven by optimisation of manufacturing facilities, combined with better combinations and reduced use of materials. Battery lifetimes and performance will also keep improving, helping to reduce the cost of services delivered.
In the meantime, lower installed costs, longer lifetimes, increased numbers of cycles and improved performance will further drive down the cost of stored electricity services. IRENA has developed a spreadsheet-based “Electricity Storage Cost-of-Service Tool” available for download.
Floating wind projects, such as the 2.8 GW Med Wind in the Strait of Sicily, are gaining traction thanks to Italy’s deep coastal waters. Hydropower still supplies about 14% of the country’s electricity, mainly from 4,860 plants in northern regions like Lombardy and Trentino-Alto Adige.
For wind power it is said to be 28.1 GW in operation by 2030, of which 2.1 GW of offshore plants. In other words, the segment should install 17 GW of new capacity. The contribution of hydroelectric and geothermal is growing compared to the previous Plan, with a target capacity in operation, respectively, of 19.4 GW and 1 GW.
