In Italy, in the month of May 2023 the overall energy demand was 50%. was equal to 24.3 billion kWh, a value down by 6.3% compared to that recorded in May 2022. what emerges from Terna's monthly reporton Italian electricity consumption. In the first 5 months of the year, however, according to the company – which operates the national transmission network, there is a was a 4.5% drop in electricity demand compared to January-May 2022.
May had the same number of working days (22) and an average monthly temperature lower by 1.8°C compared to May 2022. The figure for electricity demand, seasonally adjusted and adjusted for the temperature effect, decreased by 5.6%. At the territorial level, the May 2023 trend variation is it was negative everywhere: -7.3% in the North, -6.2% in the Center and -4.3% in the South and Islands.
Comparing May 2023 with April 2023, in economic terms, the value of electricity demand, seasonally adjusted and corrected by the temperature effect, is down by 1.7%
42.8% RENEWABLES
Entering more in detail, the energy demand for the month of May 2023 is; 82.1% was met by national production and the remaining portion (17.9%) by the balance of energy exchanged with foreign countries. The net production of energy in Italy is was equal to 20.1 billion kWh, a decrease of 6.7% compared to May 2022.
As regards renewables, the overall production in the month was equal to 20.1 billion kWh. amounted to 10.4 billion kWh. Therefore, renewables covered 42.8% of the demand for electricity. In May 2022, however, renewables were at 35.6%. The production of May & egrave; so; divided: 40.3% hydro, 28.1% photovoltaic, 14.6% wind, 12.6% biomass and 4.4% geothermal.
In particular, Terna highlights the growth of production from water sources(+33.4%). An increment that is was made possible by the heavy rains that filled the reservoirs. Production from wind sources is also growing (+33.8%). On the other hand, production from thermal (-19.8%) and photovoltaic (-5.4%) sources decreased, while geothermal generation (+0.2%) remained substantially stable.
A which point is the growth of renewables in Italy?
In the first five months of the year, the increase in capacity has increased; in Italy it is; equal to 2,001 MW. The value is 1,110 MW higher (+125%) compared to the same period of 2022. Overall, compared to May last year, a further 4,200 MW were installed.
Like every month, the company ; which manages the national transmission grid is also responsible for calculating the IMCEI index which examines the industrial consumption of the so-called “energy-hungry” companies. According to Terna, this index recorded a cyclical decrease of 2.5% compared to April. Industrial consumption fell by 8.1% compared to May 2022.
