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.
The price of electricity can fluctuate a lot during the day and charging an electric car consumes a lot of electricity. With the cost of electricity today in Portugal it is 1.58 € cheaper to charge at the hours with the lowest price.
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.
Most electricity companies in Europe buy electricity on a common market place, such as Nord Pool. All power plants that produce electricity and electricity companies that supply electricity to homes and businesses meet there. Based on supply and demand, prices are set for each hour and each area, one day in advance. Some countries, such as Norway, are divided into several different price areas, each of which has its own spot price.
All prices are current open market spot prices in the day-ahead segment without local vat, tax or other additions.
