Italy Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Italy's electricity access was 100.00% in 2025, ranked 83rd globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Italy's electricity access stood at 100.00% in 2025, a rise of +0.00pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.00% by 2025. Italy ranked 83rd globally.
Italy has maintained universal electricity access for the entire 35‑year observation period, with the World Bank reporting a coverage rate of 100.00 % in both the earliest available data point (1990) and the latest figure for 2025, which also represents the all‑time peak and trough. This constancy places Italy at rank 83 globally, sharing the same 100.00 % rate with peer economies such as Israel and Japan, which occupy adjacent positions in the World Bank ranking. The absence of variation suggests that the Italian power grid has been fully integrated and resilient, eliminating any measurable gaps in household or commercial connections over the decades. While the current trajectory shows no further room for expansion in coverage, future improvements may arise from upgrades to grid reliability, incorporation of renewable generation, and the adoption of smart‑metering technologies that could shift the focus from access to quality and sustainability of supply.
