In 2023, the final consumption of electricity in the mining and quarrying sector in Italy was estimated based on past data, serving as a baseline for projections. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast indicates a consistent decline in electricity consumption, from 48.72 to 41.9 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. This demonstrates a steady year-on-year decrease, reflecting a potential trend towards energy efficiency or declining activity in the sector.
Future trends to watch include technological advancements that may further reduce energy demands or shifts in the industry that might alter energy consumption patterns, such as increased automation or geopolitical changes affecting mining activities.
