Portugal produced 4.3 terawatt hours of electricity from “green” energy sources in April, according to ENTSO-E data. This is 91 percent. Electricity generated by the entire energy sector in this country. This class continues in May. Just one year ago, the percentage in April was 73.3%, and in May it was 71.8%. Okay, but what about the prices? Can the average Portuguese be happy with the fact that energy is “green”?
This is confirmed by the electricity price map as of Friday. In Europe, Portugal is more expensive than its counterparts: Finland, France and Spain. Prices in Poland are three times higher than in Portugal on that day.
Moreover, as we checked Poland’s average daily electricity price was 820% higher this year. Higher than Portuguese. The peak was in the second half of February, when our prices exceeded 100 euros, and Portuguese prices even less than 5 euros.
However, renewable energy sources offer lower prices. So why do prices in our country not fall significantly due to the rapid development of wind farms and photovoltaics, but remain among the highest on the continent? Let’s first look at what renewable energy is used in Portugal.

Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
