In 2023, Italy's natural gas gross electricity production stood at a lower level than the forecasted 2024 value of 13.3 million tonnes of oil equivalent. From 2024 to 2028, a steady increase is anticipated, reaching 14.49 million tonnes. This projection indicates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.2%. The year-on-year increases range from 2.33% in 2025 to 2.05% in 2028, highlighting consistent, albeit moderate, growth in production.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes in Italy and Europe regarding energy sources, technological advancements in energy production, and shifts in global natural gas prices, which could all influence the trajectory of natural gas-based electricity production. Additionally, Italy's commitment to renewable energy sources may impact the long-term role of natural gas in its energy mix.
