In the first half of 2020, Italy added 339 MW of new solar, wind, and hydroelectric installations, a dip of 39% compared to the same period in 2019. Solar and hydropower primarily drove the installations this year as wind suffered a setback. According to the RES Observatory, solar and hydroelectric saw 12% and 62% growth, respectively, while wind power fared poorly, falling 86% in 1H of 2020.
