Portuguese utility EDP - Energias de Portugal SA (ELI:EDP) said today it will aim to add more than 50 GW of renewables by 2030 to become a 100% green producer by then and carbon neutral 20 years earlier.
After analyzing the future challenges that Portugal will face and its decarbonization targets, a necessary growth of up to 50% in storage capacity could be anticipated
The projects in Finland and Portugal will help Europe''s installed energy storage capacity grow from about 11 GWh today to 75 GWh by 2030, according to data from BloombergNEF.
Portugal solar power surges in 2024 with a record 1.77 GW boost, meeting 15% of national demand. Explore how this leap drives the energy transition—read more!
To fill this gap in the literature, we conducted a case study of Mandalay Homes'' new solar and storage community in Arizona to gather lessons learned. From this foundation, we generated a

Solar energy in the United States is booming. Along with our partners at Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables, SEIA tracks trends and trajectories in the solar industry that demonstrate the diverse and sustained growth of solar across the
The Portuguese government has shown its commitment to increasing its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and changing the target of installed capacity of Solar PV from 9gw by 2030 to 20.4gw by 2035. The drastic increase in capacity targeted has been decided through improvements made in regulation.
The Portuguese government forecasts that the overall installed renewable energy capacity will rise to 42.8 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, up from a target of 27.4 GW in the previous plan, and 2.5 times more than the capacity in operation last year. In total, this will need an estimated 75 billion euros in green energy funding.
Similarly, the draft update of Portugal’s NECP aims for 1 GW of installed battery capacity by 2030. The emphasis on batteries is particularly striking. Spain’s target for battery storage exceeds 9 GW by 2030.
According to the National strategy for Hydrogen Strategy (EN-H2), by 2030, green hydrogen should cover 1.5-2 percent of Portugal's energy demand, 2-5 percent of industrial energy demand, 3-5 percent of domestic maritime shipping energy demand, 1-5 percent of road transport energy demand, and 10-15 percent of natural gas network volume.
In 2023, Solar PVs total energy consumption registered 7% of the total electricity consumed from renewable generation. Whilst this does not seem like a huge percentage, this 7% equalled a 43% increase (based off year-on-year levels) in Solar’s annual production in Portugal.
It is also concluded that the predicted storage capacity for 2030 can accommodate the expected increase in variable renewable generation without any further need for investments in PHS or battery solutions. This output contributes to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
