Portugal has made significant progress in diversifying its energy sources, with a strong focus on renewable energy. Historically reliant on imported fossil fuels, the country has shifted towards wind, solar, and hydroelectric power in recent years. This transition has positioned Portugal as a leader in renewable energy use in Europe.
Hydroelectric power, benefiting from Portugal's river systems, and wind energy are among the most significant contributors to the country's energy mix. Solar power is also on the rise, taking advantage of the country's sunny climate.
Portugal's commitment to renewable energy is evident in its ambitious targets and policies. The country has invested heavily in wind and solar power infrastructure, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint and achieve energy independence. These efforts have been supported by government incentives and a favorable regulatory environment.
As a result, there have been periods where renewable sources have met the majority of the country's electricity demand, showcasing the potential of a sustainable energy model.
As a member of the European Union, Portugal is integrated into the EU electricity market. This integration facilitates the exchange of electricity across borders, enhancing energy security and efficiency. Portugal's renewable energy capacity not only serves its own needs but also contributes to the broader European energy market.
The interconnectivity with Spain, its Iberian neighbor, is particularly significant, allowing for an effective energy trade and balancing system between the two countries.
Despite its successes, Portugal faces challenges in further expanding its renewable energy capacity. These include balancing energy supply with varying weather conditions and upgrading grid infrastructure to handle the influx of renewable sources.
Looking ahead, Portugal is poised to continue its trajectory towards a renewable-dominated energy landscape. This shift not only contributes to global efforts in combating climate change but also sets a benchmark for sustainable energy practices worldwide.
Lighting is not the thing that uses the most electricity, but it can still be a good investment to switch to energy-efficient and LED lights. These provide up to 10x more light with the same amount of energy.
With the energy-saving shower, you can save up to 50% energy compared to standard shower heads. Or you can shower half the time. With the electricity price today in Portugal you can save 0.39 € for each shower.
Heating certainly uses the most electricity, closely followed by hot water and charging electric cars. Electrical appliances such as TVs, mobile phones and computers use very little electricity in relation to heating.
