Italy needs to "increase the rate and
depth of building renovation, specifically of worst-performing
buildings", the European Commission said on Wednesday, in a
chapter dedicated to Italy in its annual State of the Energy
Union report.
The social repercussions of the poor energy performance of the
Italian residential sector shed light on the "importance" of
accelerating renovation, warned the EU.
"In 2023, 4.1% of the total population was experiencing
difficulties on paying their utility bills while 9.5% was not
able to keep their home adequately warm during the cold periods
of the year (with a mixed evolution compared to 2021, when such
figures were, respectively, 6.5% and 8.1%), stressed the report.
