In recent years, the international community has been strongly committed to promoting energy transition due to the various challenges presented by the global energy market. In this context, renewable sources have increasingly assumed a significant role, representing a viable solution to accelerate decarbonization and promote diversification of energy mix. This paper examines Italian energy profile, its status, and future prospects. Policies and incentives on a European and national scale have been analysed to observe the commitment of institutions in promoting energy transition. Policies and incentives on a European and national scale have been analysed to observe the commitment of institutions in promoting energy transition. Projections on future investments (2030) and economic and employment implications have also been provided. The analysis shows that shared investments are essential to achieve climate goals in the short term and that existing plants need to be converted through the use of new, more effective, cost-efficient technologies. Thus, innovation and investments in research and development are key drivers of energy transition, and with proper management, climate change mitigation can be ensured. The analysis provides some useful implications for policymakers who should ensure tax incentives, feed-in tariffs, and clear regulation at the national and regional levels that do not hinder the deployment of renewable energy infrastructure.
近年来，由于全球能源市场面临的各种挑战，国际社会一直大力致力于推动能源转型。在此背景下，可再生能源发挥着越来越重要的作用，是加速脱碳和促进能源结构多样化的可行解决方案。本文审视了意大利的能源概况、现状及未来前景。分析了欧洲和国家层面的政策与激励措施，以观察各机构在推动能源转型方面的努力。还给出了未来投资（2030年）预测以及经济和就业影响。分析表明，共同投资对于短期内实现气候目标至关重要，现有电厂需要通过使用更新、更有效、成本效益更高的技术进行改造。因此，创新以及研发投资是能源转型的关键驱动力，通过适当管理，可以确保减缓气候变化。该分析为政策制定者提供了一些有益启示，政策制定者应确保在国家和地区层面提供税收激励、上网电价补贴以及清晰的监管，且不妨碍可再生能源基础设施的部署。
