The import of electricity is around 10-15%, a significant amount, but Italy does not MOSTLY rely on imports.

This says that up to 25% of electricity is imported during peak times, and as of 2016, Italy was the third-largest net importer of electricity after US and Brazil.


Quite the contrary: it literally says that imports are not always proportional to demand. During the day, imports are around 10%, while at night, they rise to 25%... probably because it's much cheaper and more convenient.


15% is bad, that is power for both Sicily and Sardinia combined, dependent on neighbour country
