Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) coordinates the energy policy through the Directorate General for Security of Supply and Energy Infrastructures (DGSAIE). The Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning (CIPE) is in charge of national economic and budgetary decisions regarding the energy sector, among others.
Energy Companies
Oil:
Eni (30.1% state-owned) is the national oil and gas utility. No single shareholder can hold more than 3% of the capital, and any grouping of shareholders is subject to the prior approval of the Treasury.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Domestic production has declined sharply since 2012 (-7.9%/year) to 4.9 bcm in 2019. It reached a peak in 1994 (21 bcm) and decreased until 2009, when it increased slightly until 2012 (+2.4%/year).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices are higher than the European average, especially for industry (+39% for industry and +13% for households in 2018), due to high taxes (over 35% of end-consumer prices in 2019). The average wholesale electricity price on the power exchange fell from €75.5/MWh in 2012 to €42.8/MWh in 2016 (lower electricity demand).
Energy Consumption
Italy's per capita energy consumption is 19% lower than the EU average (2.5 toe in 2019). Electricity consumption per capita is around 5 000 kWh, i.e. 10% below the EU average.
Total energy consumption has remained broadly stable since 2015, at around 150 Mtoe (-1.1% in 2019 to 149 Mtoe). It declined rapidly between 2005 and 2014 (by 2.6%/year).
Issues & Prospects
Gas:
According to the latest forecast by Snam Rete Gas, gas consumption is expected to increase slightly (+0.6%/year) between 2019 and 2040. Domestic production should continue to decline and imports should continue to ensure most of gas consumption.
