One of the hot topics of recent years is the so-called energy transition. It is brought into the spotlight on the one hand by the increase in the cost of energy and the need to find alternative suppliers for Italy since the war in Ukraine began, and on the other by climate change.
The issues are therefore many and concern in particular the following aspects:
- Need to guarantee businesses and consumers a constant supply of energy.
- Price containment to keep the quality of production and life high.
- Preference towards less impactful sources capable of making a difference for the environment.
The cost of the bills today drives more and more people to compare electricity rates , thanks to a varied proposal and with conditions that are often more accessible than those of shops in presence.
Price is not the only element valued. In fact, more and more individuals and companies are showing sensitivity towards the question of sustainability.
In this article we try to take stock of this aspect, proposing an overview of the sources of electricity.
Non-renewable sources in Italy
Italy depends heavily on foreign countries for its energy needs. An article that appeared on Corriere.it also talks about it, which proposes a map that indicates precisely where gas, oil and coal come from. The total amount is 95.7% against a consumption exceeding 76 billion cubic metres.
The Italian non-renewable production, on the other hand, amounts to just over 4%. It includes fossil fuels obtained in thermoelectric plants , which actually account for an important slice of internal consumption: 77.4% of the total production of electricity, going to satisfy 67.1% of the gross national requirement.
