The net operating surplus in Italy's sectors of electricity, gas and water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation activities is expected to consistently grow from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the surplus is forecasted at 9.52 billion euros, rising to 10.73 billion euros by 2028. Year-on-year growth rates show a steady increase of around 3% annually. For context, in 2023, the surplus stood at 9.24 billion euros. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a moderate and stable sector expansion driven by rising demand and regulatory changes favoring sustainable energy solutions.
Future trends to watch include the adoption of renewable energy sources, technological advancements in waste management, and the impact of EU policies on sustainability. These elements may either accelerate growth by unlocking new efficiency gains and markets or slow it due to regulatory changes or market saturation. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for anticipating future sector dynamics.
