Why it matters
- The 15th-largest oil- and gas-fired power station in Italy by capacity (of 118 operating oil & gas facilities tracked).
- Provides about 1.8% of Italy's operating oil & gas capacity and roughly 1% of all operating power capacity in the country in the dataset.
- Gas-fired plants — especially combined-cycle units — provide flexible output that can ramp quickly to balance demand and variable renewables, so their availability is closely tied to gas supply and prices.
