This study confirmed that electrification of final consumption is key to the energy transition, while also offering energy security and price stability. It could represent an enormous opportunity for growth in Sardinia, but concrete action is needed to fund initial investments and introduce innovation throughout all parts of society.

The study is structured into three phases:

1. Analysis of the energy system in the Region of Sardinia;
2. Definition of a scenario for the development of energy demand, considering the specific aspects of the area and the prospects of growth defined at national and international level;
3. Analysis of the results of the development scenario proposed, and the assessment of its efficacy in terms of changes in energy consumption, the use of renewable sources, the reduction of noxious emission, and its social and economic impact (effects on health and the consequent reduction in heath expenditure).

The study is completed by a sensitivity analysis that looks at various factors: phasing out of fossil fuels by 2030, an increase in the rate of refurbishment of homes, changes in price of electrical energy and gas, and variations in the mix of energy products.
