Italy's wholesale electricity price, measured by the Pun Index Gme, reached 212 euros per MWh on September 2, surpassing the previous peak of 207 euros on August 5. This is the highest price since December 2022. According to Elettricità Futura, the price is high due to Italy's energy mix being heavily reliant on gas, which is affected by the crisis in Hormuz.
The association notes that energy-intensive companies receive subsidies, and in 2025, they paid around 35 euros per MWh after rebates. Elettricità Futura proposes increasing renewable energy generation and streamlining authorizations for projects, citing over 150 GW of ready-to-be-realized renewable projects being blocked.
