Italy's total electricity consumption was 302.75 terawatt-hour (TWh) in 2020, of which 270.55 TWh (89.3%) was produced domestically and the remaining 10.7% was imported.[4]
Italy has a high share of electricity in the total final energy consumption. The share of primary energy dedicated to electricity production is above 35%,[5] and has grown steadily since the 1970s.
In 2020, 38.1% of the national electric energy consumption came from renewable sources (compared to 16.6% in 2008), covering 20.4% of the total energy consumption of the country (7.5% in 2005).[6] Solar energy production alone accounted for almost 8.1% of the total electric production in the country in 2019.[7] Wind power, hydroelectricity, and geothermal power are also important sources of electricity in the country.
Italy abandoned nuclear power following the 1987 referendum in the wake of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, and nuclear power in Italy has never been greater than a few percent of total power generation.[8]
