Renewable energy in Italy
Encyclopedia
In 2010 Italy saw a growth of 124% investment in clean energy, recording one of the highest increase among the G-20 countries, about 62% of investments in renewable energy was allocated to photovoltaic. Many European and American multinationals are investing in Italy in the production of medium to large plants for the exploitation of solar energy, reflecting the strong attractiveness of this sector, thanks to the conformation of the Italian territory, it looks booming.
By December 2011, the solar should increase to nearly 9 TWh (from 0.7 in 2009), exceeding by far the wind which now produces 8.4 TWh, which is not expected to grow much, saw cutting incentives in place and announced the change of regime of public support expected in September 2011. A major turning point, given the historical weight of renewable wind energy on the Italian.
