Electricity demand in Italy
The actual electricity demand in Italy has shown a decreasing trend over the previous decades, declining to below 310 terawatt-hours in 2023. High electricity prices and increased energy efficiency contributed to the decline in power demand in the country. However, the electrification of the transportation sector, industrial activities, and heat production will reverse this trend in the next years.
