4 FAQs about The role of the Portuguese portable energy storage box

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.

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.

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.

What is Portugal's Energy and Climate Plan?
