Italy is making significant headway toward meeting the European Green Homes Directive’s 2030 energy-efficiency goals. According to the report “Italy’s Path to the Green Homes Directive”, the country has already cut residential energy consumption by 9.1%, leaving just 6.9% to reach the 16% reduction target set for 2030.

To close this gap, Italy must invest approximately €84.8 billion between 2025 and 2030—roughly €14.1 billion per year. This investment would cover energy-efficient renovations for 3 million homes (around 505,000 annually), at an average cost of €28,000 per unit.
