For the second year in a row, oil is reaffirmed as the top source of supply (with a weight of approximately 39%, and Libya remains the first provider) in the Italian energy mix in 2024. On the other hand, gas and coal (which plummeted to a historic low) decreased, while renewables continued to develop (+12% compared to 2023), aided by power generation. The peninsula's energy bill has decreased to 48.5 billion this year, a 28% decrease from 2023, as a result of the decreased expenditure on oil and gas supplies as a result of the price decline. The oil bill declined by 26% (21.2 billion), while state revenue guaranteed by mineral oils increased to nearly 42 billion, up 0.9% (+400 million) from 2023.
