The Portuguese Government came into this auction expecting to obtain 33.5 thousand euros per MWh, but the winners ended up paying to 37.1 thousand euros per MWh to the system. Also, the World record for the lowest output price was broken once again with a bid of €0.0112/kWh. In Spain, the development of solar energy started earlier.
Portugal faces some of the highest electricity prices in Europe, driven by taxes and network costs. With rising electricity costs making it more expensive to power appliances, heat water, and cool homes, solar energy offers a cost-effective solution.
Learn more about solar battery storage.. As of 2024, the average electricity price in Portugal is around €0.23 per kWh including taxes (GPP). With an annual consumption of 7,000 kWh, a household could be paying €1,610 per yea r for electricity.
Any excess solar energy that is not used immediately can be fed back into the grid through Portugal's self-consumption scheme. Homeowners receive compensation for the surplus energy they supply. This means even if you’re not at home during the day, your solar panels can still generate value by selling energy back to the grid.
All the configurations implemented self-consumption, considered to be the current most adequate context to implement PV solar energy in Portugal in the residential sector, regarding the Portuguese legislation.
The main supplier and distributor of electricity in Portugal, EDP, has presented plans to install the first PV plant (3.8 MW) coupled with lead-acid batteries storage, focused on self-consumption, in Castanheira do Ribatejo and Azambuja .
