Climate change think tank ECCO and consultancy Artelys said Italy would need to add 190 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2035 to achieve a G7 net-zero electricity system. The country relies heavily on the electricity system, with more than 50 percent of its electricity coming from natural gas, oil or coal. To achieve this goal, Italy needs to increase its installed solar and wind capacity by 7 sites by 2030 and by 8 sites by 2035. By 2035, electricity generation from natural gas will be almost zero, and thermal power plants will be converted to hydrogen and biogas.
