Renewable sources: imports and production of wind and photovoltaic energy increase, thermal energy decreases
Le renewables they produced altogether 7,3 billion in kWh, covering the 29,3% of electrical demand (against 27,7% in November 2021), with the following changes compared to November last year: photovoltaic +31%, wind +12,2%, water -18,8% and geothermal -1,3%.

La production of renewable sources was divided as follows in November: 30,8% water, 26,3% wind, 20,3% biomass, 16,6% photovoltaic and 6% geothermal. The production of thermal energy dropped sharply (-18,9%), while the import-export balance saw an overall variation of +93,8%, due to a decrease in exports (-40,9%) and a growth in imports (+65,7%).
As regards the industrial consumption, the index IMCEI, prepared by Terna, recorded a decrease of 7,6% compared to November 2021.
Terna: "We are energy", the new awareness campaign
In terms of consumption, in recent days Terna has launched “We are Energy”, the awareness campaign for a conscious, rational and virtuous use of electricity in Italy.
The campaign, created in agreement with the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, identifies a series of behavior thanks to which it is possible contain consumption, and therefore costs, with a view to sustainability, economic savings and greater energy efficiency, for the benefit of everyone, citizens and businesses.
On the application of the company was placed a new feature called Ecology. This option allows every citizen to easily locate the time slot peak daily where it is preferable consume less energy (Monday to Friday) and, therefore, be able to choose consciously to moderate the own need while reducing costs for the entire Italian electricity system.
