Guarantee of a reliable
supply
Use of environmental
processes
Encourage company
competition, competitive-
ness and efficiency
Renewable Energy
• Reduction in gas emissions that cause a Greenhouse effect
• Development of an industry that supplies equipment and services – incentives to innovation
Strategic Priorities
• Liberalization of the gas and electricity markets
• Development of an operator to transport gas and electricity – REN
• Promotion of developments in renewable energies• Focus in wind power – wind power cluster in Viana do Castelo• Portuguese Reservoir Plan with a High Potential for Hydro Power• Valuation of biomass• Increase the use of solar energy• Incorporation of bio fuels• Leader in wave energy
• Implementation of a plan to increase energy efficiency - Portugal Eficiência 2015
Renewable Energy
Main areas of activity
• Wind park in Alto Minho – 120 turbines, 240MW installed capacity, production of 530 GWh/year capacity to supply 160 thousand homes
The largest wind energy
park in Europe
Renewable Energy
Some results obtained:
The first park in the
world to supply wave
energy
• In Póvoa do Varzim (Açugadoura), 3 Pelamis units with an installed capacity of 2.25MW, 5Km off the coast, supplying energy to 1,500 homes
Portuguese platform for
electric cars by 2011
• In 2008 the Portuguese Government signed an agreement with Renault-Nissan to promote the use of electric vehicles. A network of infra-structures will be created to enable the substitution or charging of car batteries. This was the first agreement by the Consortium – Renault and Nissan who, in the past, had separate agreements with only Israel and Denmark.

With a target of 39% Portugal undertook the 3rd most ambitious
objective of the EU 15 for renewables
The Portuguese Government intends to exceed the objectives
defined for 2010
Exceed the target of 39% established by the Directive and achieve, in 2010, a RES contribution of 45% in total electricity consumption

Energy production accessible to all
Micro Production Energy – Online
Allows consumers to use their homes to become energy producers.
All that is necessary is to register online, install the micro-production equipment and sell the excess energy produced.
The amount earned can reach 300 Euros a month.
Not only limited to solar energy (it also covers wind, hydro, biomass cogeneration, fuel batteries based on hydrogen and any combination of the above), this will probably be the main form.

Ambitious targets for the inclusion of bio fuels
Renewable Energy
Ambitious targets for the inclusion of bio fuels
Targets
• By 2010, 10% of bio fuels will be included in all fuel used by motor vehicles (10 years before the EU timeframe)
Measures• Tax incentives – exemption of ISP (fuel tax) for road
fuel
Position in 2007
• Exemption of ISP (fuel tax) on 205 thousand tons of bio fuel
• The production of bio fuels depends on imports - Portuguese agriculture production has only contributed with 2.4% of the total
Renewable Energy
Ambitious targets for the inclusion of bio fuels
► In 2008 GALP refineries should included up to 5% of vegetable oil in its diesel for the production of bio-diesel
► There were five working bio fuel factories in Portugal:
• Iberol
• Prio (da Martifer)
• Torrejana
• Tagol
• Biovegetal (João Pereira Coutinho)
► And ready to open were
• Enerful (Enersis)
• Green Cyber (Grupo Sampaio Nunes)
The escalating prices of raw materials has delayed the desired targets

Portuguese programme for energy efficiency
Portuguese Programme for Energy Efficiency
In 2005/2007 Portugal reversed the tendency of its increasing use of energy as registered since 1990, however, it registers higher values than the European average (presently 120Tep/million GDP). In a Business as Usual scenario, Portugal would take 15 years to reach the current European level.
Renewable Energy
Portugal Eficiência 2015 – Efficency Portugal 2015
Objective: To reach 10% of energy efficiency by 2015 (Vs 8% expected in theDirective 2006/32/CE from the Energy Services), lessening the increase of the energy account by 1% per year until 2015.
Twelve programmes were outlined for energy efficiency performance:
- Adoption of new technologies and organisational processes, changes in behaviour and taking into account typology values and sustainable consumer trends
- Measures with emphasis in the sectors of Transport, Residential and Services, Industry and Government and also Social Behaviour, Incentives and Tax Incentives
