OverviewWind powerDevelopmentHydro powerSolar powerGeothermal powerWave powerBiogas

At the end of 2018, wind power capacity in Continental Portugal was 5,368 MW. In 2020, wind powered energy was responsible for 24% of electricity production. Portugal combines wind and hydropower by using nighttime winds to pump water uphill and sending the water back through generators to produce power the next day; the so-called Pumped-storage hydroelectricity.

54% of Portugal''s electricity is now generated by renewable energy

Portugal has made significant strides in integrating renewable energy sources into its electricity generation. The country has taken advantage of solar power, tidal power wind generation, and hydroelectric power plants. Portugal is becoming a World leader in developing every form of energy independence.
