Highlights

  • The country targets a reduction of 55% in GHG emissions and a 49% share of renewables in final energy consumption in 2030.
  • EDP for electricity and Galp Energia for oil and gas dominate their respective markets.
  • Chinese companies own 21% of EDP and 25% of REN, the power and gas transmission company.
  • The share of renewables in the power mix reached 76% in 2023.
  • Electricity and gas prices are around 20 to 30% below the EU average.
  • The price of petroleum products is close to the EU average.
  • The share of renewables in the energy mix has increased by 14 points since 2010, reaching 39% in 2023.
  • Portugal aims to strengthen its electricity grid to integrate more renewables (hydro and wind in the north and solar in the south).
  • Portugal, Spain, France, and Germany aim to build a new underwater gas pipeline between Barcelona and Marseille as a future green H2 corridor.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Ministry of Climate and Energy oversees the national energy policy and supervises the energy sector through the Secretariat of Energy. The Directorate General for Energy and Geology (DGEG) is responsible for designing, promoting, and evaluating energy policies.

    ERSE, Entidade Reguladora dos Serviços Energéticos,is the electricity and gas regulator.

  • Energy Companies

    Electricity:

    EDP, Energias de Portugal, the former national electric utility, is partly controlled by foreign investors (CTG, China Three Gorges 21.01%, OPPIDUM 6.82%, BlackRock 6.33%, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board 5.37%).

  • Energy Supply

    Oil:

    Portugal does not produce oil and imported 10.8 Mt of crude oil in 2023 (-17% compared to 2022). In 2023, the main crude oil suppliers were Brazil (43%), Algeria (15%), and Nigeria (13%).

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    Since 2022, gas prices have increased significantly due to the reduction of Russian gas supply to Europe and surging gas prices on the European wholesale markets.

    Natural gas prices tripled in 2022 in industry to €7.9c/kWh and decreased by 30% in 2023 to €5.6c/kWh.

    Prices for residential consumers have increased by almost 90% since 2021 to €17.5c/kWh in 2023.

  • Energy Consumption

    Consumption per capita is 28% lower than the EU average at 1.8 toe, 4 840 kWh of which is electricity (10% below the EU average) (2023).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Gas:

    REN's draft Ten-Year Network Development and Investment Plan for 2024-2033 (PDIRG 2024-2033) estimates investments in the gas network at €162m over 2024-2033. REN expects gas consumption to decline by 3.7%/year between 2023 and 2033 to around 3.9 bcm, due to a 75% decrease in demand from the power sector.
