ItalyIn 2025, Italy's average wholesale electricity price (Pun) reached 115.9 euros per megawatt-hour (MWh), marking a 7% increase compared to 2024 and making it the highest among major European energy markets. This price is nearly double that of France (61.1 euros/MWh) and Spain (65.3 euros/MWh). The main reason cited is Italy’s heavy reliance on gas-based power generation, despite renewable energy now accounting for 48% of national production. The impact on consumers is significant, as the final electricity price for households dropped slightly by 1.6% in 2025 to 35.12 cents per kilowatt-hour (c€/kWh), but remains 13% above the Eurozone average. Vulnerable domestic customers pay around 25.2 c€/kWh (net of taxes) under protected tariffs, while those on gradual protection pay 22.8 c€/kWh—both still cheaper than the open market.
