The construction of wind turbines to be installed at sea would activate some key sectors of Made in Italy.Between 2020 and 2023 requests for over 100 GW, but the government remains cautious on the objectives

The Tuscan governor comments to Open on the protest by farmers and citizens of the Grosseto area, who are asking for a stop to the new plants.But compared to Sardinia, he adds, "ours will be a more nuanced approach"

The suitable areas decree, awaited for years, should have clarified once and for all which areas are most suitable for hosting renewable energy plants.But environmentalists and businesses say it will only complicate things.Here's why

In the month of May, in Italy, over half of the energy demand was produced by renewable sources, marking the highest monthly value ever.This was announced yesterday by Terna, the public company that manages the electricity grid, which certified that last month renewable sources specifically covered 52.5% of Italian electricity demand, over 10% more than the May 2023, in which 42.3% was recorded. The data is only the latest stage of a trend that seems to be emerging very clearly.In fact, in the phase between January and May 2024, the renewable capacity in operation in Italy has view an increase of 3,015 Gigawatts, or 42% more than in the same time frame in 2023. The government's plans for 2024 are to reach 8 Gigawatts.Specifically, in May 2024, compared to the same month of the previous year, there was an increase in hydroelectric (+34.7%), wind (+10.5%) and photovoltaic (+36.3 %).The latter, according to what was reconstructed by Terna, is the result of the increase in operating capaci...

In Italy, last April, renewable energies satisfied more than half of the national electricity demand.Exceeding the overall contribution of fossil sources, clean sources have satisfied 51.2% of energy needs, against 34.2% coming from non-renewable sources, while the foreign balance took over to satisfy the remaining needs.To make it known the relationship Terna monthly.In particular, the photovoltaic source alone satisfied 30.8% of the total renewable electricity generation, followed by hydroelectric (37.7%) and wind (17.4%).Geothermal and biomass heat, however, are stable. Compared to the same month of 2023, the production of electricity from renewable sources thus recorded a +43,8%, while the renewable capacity in operation increased by 45%, recording a growth of 2,356 MW.In particular, there has been a notable increase renewable hydroelectric production (+197.5%), while the photovoltaic one is increasing by almost 20%.Broadening our gaze, according to what is reported in the report,...
