ITsolar power production surged to a historic record in 2025 as output increased 25 percent to reach 44.3 TWh. The Italianpower grid operator Terna SpA reported these figures on January 21, 2026, highlighting a period of significant growth for the solar sector. Despite this achievement, the report noted that overall renewable energy capacity additions slowed during the year, falling from 7.5 GW in 2024 to 7.2 GW in 2025. This deceleration indicates that the current pace of green energy deployment in Italyis insufficient to meet the country's 2030 decarbonization targets.
