In 2023, the share of natural gas in Italy's commercial and public services final consumption was higher compared to the forecasted data from 2024 onward. The forecasts indicate a gradual decline from 39.04% in 2024 to 37.64% in 2028. The projected year-on-year decreases from 2024 to 2028 suggest a consistent reduction in reliance on natural gas within the sector.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Renewable energy adoption: Increasing integration of renewable energy sources may further reduce the share of natural gas.
- Policy changes: Government initiatives promoting sustainable energy could accelerate the decline.
- Technological advancements: Innovations in energy efficiency could impact natural gas consumption patterns.
