Some results obtained:
The largest wind energy park in Europe Wind park in Alto Minho 120 turbines, 240MW installed capacity, production of 530 GWh/year capacity to supply 160 thousand homes

The first park in the world to supply wave energy

In Pvoa do Varzim (Augadoura), 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.

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

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

There were five working bio fuel factories in Portugal:

Iberol Prio (da Martifer) Torrejana Tagol Biovegetal (Joo Pereira Coutinho) And ready to open were

Enerful (Enersis)

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.

Portugal Eficincia 2015 Efficency Portugal 2015 Objective: To reach 10% of energy efficiency by 2015 (Vs 8% expected in the
Directive 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

Under the trade name of Vulcano Termodomsticos SA, BBT Termotecnologia Portugal SA started it activities in Cacia Aveiro, in 1977, based on a licensing contract with Robert Bosch for a transfer of technology used by the German company in the manufacture of boilers. In 1988, the company was bought by the Bosch Group, that transferred to Portugal its know-how and equipment therefore starting a process of expertise within the Group. Leader in the European market since 1992, this boiler is rated third worldwide, and BBT Termotecnologia Portugal SA is the proficient centre of Robert Bosch for this product. In March 2007, the company started producing thermal solar panels. At this moment this area is one that has grown the most within the companys activity in Portugal.
