Portuguese policy makers should be aware of the potential implications of electricity exports at moments of high wind resource, as the price paid for wind generation (i.e.
With this in mind, the Portuguese Ministry of Energy announced on July 31 that it was awarding €99.75 million to a call for tenders for the installation of energy storage projects totalling 500 MW. Eligible projects can receive up to €30 million and be implemented at the transport and distribution level by the end of 2025.
This initiative aims to enhance the flexibility and stability of Portugal's power supply system amid its record-breaking solar electricity production. On July 31, the ministry announced the allocation of €99.75 million through a call for tenders to install energy storage projects totaling 500 MW.
The Portuguese Ministry of Energy has allocated €100 million for grid flexibility and energy storage projects to be completed by the end of 2025. This initiative aims to enhance the flexibility and stability of Portugal's power supply system amid its record-breaking solar electricity production.
The strategy includes a target of 20.4 GW of operational PV systems by 2030, comprising 14.9 GW of large-capacity plants and 5.5 GW of decentralized generation. Additionally, Portugal has launched its first tender for biomethane and green hydrogen as part of this comprehensive energy strategy.
The share of renewables in Portugal's energy mix has grown from 27% in 2005 to 54% in 2017, with the last coal-fired power plant closing in 2021. As part of its new energy strategy, Portugal aims to produce 80% renewable electricity by 2026 and 85% by 2030.
Portugal is building one of the cleanest and smartest electricity systems in Europe. Between surging renewables and flexible tariffs, it’s never been easier for households and businesses to go green — and save money doing it. Time to rethink your energy plan?
