Italian power sector gas demand rose in February from a year earlier, as aggregate electricity demand increased while hydro- electric and solar generation fell. Power sector gas demand rose to 61.2mn m~3/d in February from 60.1mn m~3/d a year earlier. Electricity generation from thermal units increased to 504 GWh/d from 500 GWh/d, with the rise driven by gas-fired units as the country’s relatively small number of coal-fired units was already operating at full utilisation. Aggregate Italian power generation remained broadly unchanged.
