Focus - Renewable energy

Renewables are growing, but Europe's energy security depends on the speed of the transition and the ability to integrate systems.

By 2025, renewables are expected to reach 49.5% of global capacity, marking a key step in the energy transition.

Renewables are growing in Italy, but the energy transition requires infrastructure, storage, and regulatory simplification.

Energy communities in Europe are growing slowly: amid high potential and regulatory and operational challenges yet to be overcome.

In 2026, renewables will grow in the Italian energy mix, with wind power playing a leading role in the system's transformation.

Offshore wind energy in Italy offers great potential but requires a balance between energy development, authorization procedures, and territorial sustainability.

Biomethane can contribute to Italy's energy transition by valorizing agricultural waste and strengthening the production of renewable gas.

In Italy, nearly seven out of ten renewable energy projects are held up by complex authorization procedures, impacting the development of the energy transition.

Community engagement and participation in energy projects are increasingly central elements in the development of utility-scale renewables.

Geothermal systems combine high energy performance and tax incentives, offering savings on consumption and greater long-term sustainability.

In 2025, the costs of renewables and storage will follow different trajectories: photovoltaic and wind energy will increase, while batteries will become increasingly competitive.

Photovoltaics is evolving towards integrated models: fewer incentives, more self-consumption, and growth in the commercial and industrial sectors.
