Portugal is set to increase its renewable energy consumption to 93% by 2030, focusing on wind and solar power expansion. While the country aims to double its wind power capacity, reaching 42.9 gigawatts by 2030, and significantly boost solar capacity to 20.8 gigawatts, it plans to scale back its green hydrogen ambitions. The draft energy and climate plan proposes reducing the target for green hydrogen production to 3 gigawatts by 2030, down from the initial 5.5 gigawatts. This shift indicates a strategic change towards prioritizing other renewable energy sources. The plan aligns with European trends as nations look to renewables amidst rising gas prices post the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The goal to combat climate change, ensure energy security, and attract investment underscores Portugal's commitment to decarbonization and competitiveness. Despite scaling down green hydrogen targets, Portugal's favorable conditions for a green hydrogen industry, such as low-cost renewable electricity production, provide a foundation for future growth in this sector.
