production from renewable sources marked +27.3% compared to the first half of last year. Thus exceeding production from fossil fuels, which instead suffered a 19% decline compared to the same period of 2023, a reduction driven by the -77.3% of coal. In June, 52.5% of electricity demand was covered by renewables.

Of course, the abundant rainfall in the northern regions played a significant role in this record: from January to June 2024, hydroelectric production reached 25.92 terawatt hours: +64.8% compared to the period January-June 2023. And this is a figure that cannot be relied upon because the rainfall pattern is inconsistent. But there are also structural data. In the six-month period considered – Terna recalls – the renewable capacity in operation increased by 3,691 megawatts (of which 3,341 photovoltaic). We are at +41% compared to the same period of the previous year.

    È una notizia bellissima, ma sono sicuro che arriverà il redditor a smentirla totalmente o parzialmente, intristendoti ancora di più.

    (non è possibile avere buone notizie)

  2. Sarebbe interessante capire per ogni MW di fotovoltaico installato quanta è l’energia effettivamente prodotta (GWh/anno). Per esempio io fino al 2022 con pannelli da 3.3 kW producevo attorno ai 4.5 MWh/anno, ma il valore dipende dalla posizione geografica quindi farci una cartina sarebbe strafigo.
