Portugal achieved 100% renewable energy power supply in March.

  • 2018-06-15

A new report indicates that Portugal's renewable energy generation exceeded total demand in March, setting a benchmark for other EU countries. According to data from Portugal's national grid company (Redes Energéticas Nacionais, REN), renewable energy generation reached 4,812 gigawatt-hours (GWh, equivalent to one million kilowatt-hours) that month, exceeding the peak national electricity demand of 4,647 GWh. Hydropower—which surged due to average rainfall in March being four times higher than usual—contributed 55%, while wind power accounted for 42%. This new record coincides with the Portuguese government's decision in early April to suspend its annual subsidy of €20 million (approximately NT$720 million or HK$190 million), most of which was obtained by thermal power plants that were put on standby. It has been almost a year since Portugal last supplied electricity from 100% renewable energy, a period that lasted 107 hours, while the average renewable energy generation in March last year was 62%. Is the outlook for green energy even more optimistic? "Last month's results are a prime example of how close we are to achieving fully green energy generation. This is not only a milestone for Portugal's power system, but also demonstrates that renewable energy can meet the electricity needs of an entire country," said two Portuguese non-profit organizations, APREN and ZERO, in a collaborative report. They anticipate that by 2040, Portugal's annual electricity demand will be stably supplied by economically viable renewable energy sources. While thermal power plants will still need to operate for some time, more renewable energy generation will compensate for the rest. Green Party member of the European Parliament Claude Turmes praised this achievement, advocating that the EU should raise its 2030 target of 27% renewable energy. Euractiv reported that the European Parliament, the European Commission, and member states are negotiating whether to increase the renewable energy target to 35%, but implementing officials prefer to maintain the current plan.
