But gas would continue to have a key role in Italy\u2019s energy strategy, the document said. Italy, which imports about 90% of its gas needs, generates about 43% of its power from gas.<br \/> \tIn slides on its new strategy, the government said it wanted to promote new gas import pipelines to diversify supply while liquefied natural gas capacity would be awarded by auction and not on a fixed tariff basis.<br \/> \tOn Thursday, the head of Italy\u2019s biggest utility Enel said the strategy needed to give a greater role to green energy to wean the country off reliance on gas.<br \/> \t\u201cThe strategy looks tilted toward gas rather than renewables. It\u2019s probably a lack of vision or a conservative idea that a country should have at least one fossil fuel alternative for the future,\u201d Enel CEO Francesco Starace told Reuters.<br \/> \tStarace, a nuclear engineer by training, believes a bigger role should be given to renewable energy.<br \/> \tLast week, Enel and other top utilities called the European Union\u2019s green energy targets &#8220;unambitious&#8221;, urging the bar to be raised in the fight against climate change.<br \/> \tState-controlled Enel, which owns a majority stake in Spanish utility Endesa, is one of Europe\u2019s top renewable energy players and is focusing on green energy and grids to offset the crisis in traditional power generation.<br \/> \t&#8220;Phasing out coal by 2025 is doable providing you rush, take quick decisions and get all the permits in time but it\u2019s very uneconomical and dangerous and must be done responsibly,\u201d he said.<br \/> \tRenewable energy is by nature intermittent and gas or coal-fired plants are needed to feed the grid when the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow.<\/p>\n<p> \t\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi Italy called on Friday for coal power plants across the country to be phased out by 2025 and for renewable energy to play a greater role as it moves to reduce its carbon footprint.
