Renewable energy in Italy - statistics & facts
Stretching from the Alps across the Mediterranean Sea, Italy's diverse natural landscape has allowed for a range of renewable energy sources development. Recognized as a leader in renewable energy, Italy is one of the top-ranking countries in terms of installed renewable energy capacity worldwide. The country’s energy sector has transformed over the past decade as the total installed capacity of renewables has nearly doubled. As of 2023, the largest share of renewable electricity came from hydro facilities in the north of the country and solar photovoltaic plants.
