Electricity does not exist in nature: it must therefore be
produced, transforming the energy from primary sources into
electricity.Electricity production in Italy still largely takes place using
non-renewable sources (natural gas, coal and oil), although the
development of renewable sources is constantly increasing:
geothermal, hydroelectric, solar and wind energy.
In order to meet Italian energy requirements, electricity also
needs to be purchased from other countries. Most of the
electricity we import through the 25 interconnections with
foreign countries comes from France and Switzerland.
The electricity production market is completely liberalised.
