is however expected to recover in 2027 and record an average annual growth of 1.4% between 2027 and 2029, supported by investments in energy, transport infrastructure, and hospitality sectors, coupled with the government's aim to increase the share of renewable energy in the total power mix from 18.5% in 2022 to 59% in 2030. In line with this, in March 2025,
the government-owned national transmission grid operator, Terna, approved an updated 2024–28 Industrial Plan with a record investment of EUR17.7 billion ($19.3 billion) to develop the energy sector, which is EUR1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) more than the previous plan, which was presented in March 2024, representing a 7% increase. The plan targets the integration of
107GW of renewable capacity by 2030 and aims for a 40% increase in cross- border electricity exchange capacity by expanding and strengthening the national transmission grid. In this plan, EUR2.4 billion ($2.6 billion) is allocated to digital transformation, while EUR2.3 billion ($2.5 billion) is dedicated to grid security and climate resilience measures. The plan aims to cut CO2 emissions by 46% by 2030 from 2019 levels and reach net zero by 2050.
