Portugal’s second solar auction has closed with record-breaking low prices of €11.14/MWh (US$13.12), or US$0.0131/kWh, the country’s government announced yesterday. Of the 700MW available for auction, 670MW was awarded, with Hanwha Q CELLS winning half of the 12 lots with bids that included battery storage.
The company’s six solar projects are expected to be completed in 2024. Portugal is only realising one solar auction in 2020 as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. As of 2021, however, the government is looking to carry out two per year, awarding a total capacity of 1GW per annum.
It added that taxpayers will save €559 million over the next 15 years as a result of the auctions.

It also comes in around 25% lower than the lowest bid in Portugal’s first PV tender last year, which was €14.76/MWh and at the time itself a record. Held on 24 and 25 August, the latest auction was for lots in Portugal’s southern regions of Alentejo and Algarve. Originally due to take place in spring, it was delayed due COVID-19.
The lowest bid falls below the previous solar industry record tariff of US$0.0135/kWh set by the Al Dhafra project in Abu Dhabi in April. It also comes in around 25% lower than the lowest bid in Portugal’s first PV tender last year, which was €14.76/MWh and at the time itself a record.
