How many solar PV projects are being built in Italy?

GreenIT and Galileo sign agreement on eight solar PV projects in Italy. GreenIT continues its growth in renewable energy with an additional 140 MW portfolio of new solar photovoltaic plants developed by Galileo. The projects will be built in three regions in Southern, Central and Northern Italy.

Why is Galileo launching a Renewable Project in Italy?

In Italy, Galileo is developing a further pipeline of onshore and offshore renewable projects accounting for a grand total of more than 2,000 MW in the country. Efficient synergies with such high-calibre partners like GreenIT can be strong propellers for the further expansion of our activities across Europe."

Will Italy lead Europe's energy transition?

Italy’s solar market has grown from 4,000 MW in 2005 to over 26 GW in 2023, driven by strong policies and cutting-edge technologies like bifacial panels and agrivoltaics. With ambitious goals of 52 GW by 2030 and 74.6% renewable electricity by 2050, the report examines Italy’s plans to lead Europe’s energy transition.

Is Italy a green country?

In the first half of 2024, more than 50% of electricity in Italy was generated from renewable sources, largely due to the significant contribution of hydropower. However, Italy still lags behind its European peers, with its green energy generation capacity well below the European average.

How will Italy's power plants contribute to its decarbonisation goals?

Once in operation, it is estimated that the plants will be able to cover the electricity consumption of over ninety thousand 1 households 2, thus contributing to Italy’s decarbonisation targets of the 2030 National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan and its energy transition.

Does Italy rely on foreign energy sources?

The dependence of Italy on foreign energy sources is decreasing: the share of net imports relative to gross energy availability dropped from 79.2 percent in 2022 to 74.6 percent in 2023. There was a significant decline in the imports of solid fuels (-38%), renewables and bioliquids (-22%), and natural gas (-15%).
