To meet the 20.8 GW solar target in the country's National Energy and Climate Plan, Portugal needs to install around 2.6 GW of new solar capacity annually, more than double the current pace. The association told pv magazine there is some concern around the recent slowdown in installations.
Portugal ranks as the 11th EU member state most dependent on imported energy sources, with a decreasing dependence since 2000, when 85% of its energy was imported. This is mainly due to the lack of fossil energy sources, which continues to impact the total consumption of primary energy significantly.
While distributed generation is steadily expanding, a quicker rate of deployment across all market segments will be needed to meet 2030 targets. Portugal added 499 MW of solar between December 2024 and May 2025, according to figures from the Portuguese Association Of Renewable Energy (APREN). By May, cumulative solar capacity reached 6.17 GW.
Portugal's new ambitious national energy and climate plan for 2030 and roadmap to carbon neutrality by 2050 targets at least 80% of electricity production coming from renewables and to further decarbonize the energy sector.
