Portugal has a mid-sized but advanced telecoms market, with a steadily growing broadband subscriber base well served by cable, and the emerging FTTx platforms. Mobile penetration is far above the European Union average, while the development of digital TV services has progressed under cautious regulatory guidance. The progressive liberalisation of the Portuguese market began at the beginning of the 1990s through the creation of the Portuguese Institute for. [pdf]

Members of European Parliament (MEPs) have adopted the EU Solar Standard, which will require the installation of solar on buildings across EU member states. The standard forms part of the European Performance of Buildings Directive, which was provisionally agreed upon in December. [pdf]
Portugal’s Ministry of Energy has announced that it has allocated €100 million ($104.2 million) to 43 energy storage projects which should be installed by the end of 2025. A total of 79 applications were vying for grant support secured under the country’s Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP). [pdf]
The is an 11 megawatt plant covered 150 acres (0.61 km ) and employs 52,000 PV panels. The panels are raised 2 meters off the ground thus allowing grazing to continue. The plant provides enough energy for 8,000 homes and saves an estimated 30,000 tonnes of per year. As of 2023, Portugal’s installed solar capacity exceeds 3 GW, with a target to reach 9 GW by 2030 as outlined in the country’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). Solar energy accounts for 9% of Portugal’s electricity generation, with continuous growth expected in the coming years (source). [pdf]
