4 FAQs about Portugal Porto power supply side energy storage policy

Should energy storage be democratised in Portugal?

Energy storage is therefore essential if EU targets are to be met. Portugal's installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year. However, this paradigm is about to change with the democratisation of energy storage solutions through wind and solar production.

Why is energy storage important in Portugal?

Renewable energies are inevitably vulnerable to variations in availability, since the sun and the wind cannot be programmed. Energy storage is therefore essential if EU targets are to be met. Portugal's installed energy storage capacity is still predominantly based on hydro pumping, which currently stands at 4,164 GW year.

How many GWh of electricity are generated in Portugal in 2023?

Between 1 January and 31 October 2023, 35,152 GWh of electricity were generated on the Portuguese mainland, of which 67.8 per cent came from renewable sources. The storage will be decisive for the long-awaited energy transition.

Does Portugal have an electric energy surplus?

Strategies As a first step for the energetic strategies' calculations it was assumed that there is a relation between Portugal's electricity exports and its electric generation from solar and wind. This correlation was calculated, and once discounting the electricity imports, it was obtained the amount of electric energy surplus.
