MED & Italian Energy Conference 2026 to Address Energy Security in the Mediterranean
The 7th edition of the 'MED & Italian Energy Report' will be presented on January 28, 2026, at the European Parliament in Brussels, focusing on energy security during the Mediterranean energy transition. Organized by Intesa Sanpaolo and European Regulatory and Public Affairs, the event will highlight Italy's strategic position in the Mediterranean as a hub for renewable energy, hydrogen, and advanced logistics by 2030.
Southern regions like Puglia and Sicily are key, hosting over 40% of renewable applications. Terna is investing in enhancing energy transfer capacity from south to north by 50% post-2030. Analysts predict rapid market growth in southern Italy until 2031, contingent on congestion reduction.
Major producers Enel, Edison, A2A, ERG, and Acea control about 60% of capacity, with international companies expanding solar portfolios. Key themes include energy security, electrification, and critical raw materials.
