Monthly industrial electricity consumption index

Terna uses the monthly industrial electricity consumption index (IMCEI) to monitor the industrial consumption of around 1,000 large energy consumers (classified according to Ateco 2007 codes) connected directly to the Italian National Transmission Grid. These “energy intensive” companies operate in the cement, lime and gypsum, iron and steel, chemicals, mechanical engineering, transport, food, paper, ceramics and glass, and non-ferrous metal sectors which, as the term suggests, require more energy to operate. This consumption data was used to construct an adimensional index with 2015 as the base year.

Info about the data

Industrial consumption data also in relation to the Industrial Production Index (IPI). The percentage change over the same month in the previous year and the percentage change of the previous month in seasonally and calendar-adjusted values is also highlighted.

The monthly industrial electricity consumption index is compared with the Industrial Production Index (IPI) published once a month by ISTAT. The IPI for each month is published in month n+2 while the IMCEI of the month is published in the first few days of month n+1. The percentage change over the same month in the previous year and the percentage change of the previous month in seasonally and calendar-adjusted values is also highlighted.

The IMCEI is seasonally adjusted using the Tramo-Seats method, in line with ISTAT practices.

Numerical data are always presented in English format (the full stop is used to separate decimals, comma to separate thousands).

Info about the data

The industrial consumption data of the main “energy-intensive” sectors.

The sectors follow the Ateco 2007 classification adopted by ISTAT. For each sector, the monthly consumption in GWh and the minimum, average and maximum value for voltage type (HV/MV) is shown from 2015 to the most recent available year. The percentage change in consumption with respect to the same month of the previous year is also highlighted.

Numerical data are always presented in English format (the full stop is used to separate decimals, comma to separate thousands).

Info about the data

The percentage change of industrial consumption, compared to the previous year, by region.

Here we publish the graph showing monthly consumption in GWh for each region and the percentage variation compared to the same month of the previous year, shown by voltage type.
