Italy's energy landscape shows mixed progress, with renewables covering over 41% of electricity demand in 2025, while gas remains the leading fossil fuel at around 42%. Energy dependency from imports stands at 74%.

Despite advancements in the electric sector, renewable energy's share in total consumption is only 20%, falling short of 2030 targets. The focus on gas continues, with criticism on the lack of structural changes and insufficient promotion of heat pumps, which are essential for electrification. Fiscal incentives have not led to significant consumption reductions, indicating a need for a more effective national strategy.
