Renewable energy in Portugal was the source for 25.7% of total energy consumption in 2013.[1] In 2014, 27% of Portugal's energy needs were supplied by renewable sources.[2] In 2016, 28% of final energy consumption in Portugal came from renewable sources.[3]
Portugal aims to be climate neutral by 2050 and to cover 80% of its electricity consumption with renewables by 2030.[4]
In 2018, Portugal committed to close all of the country's coal producing facilities by 2030, making it almost completely reliant on renewable energy in the coming years.[5] As of 2019, coal still provided 40% of Portugal's electricity needs.[4] The last Portuguese coal power plant closed on 19 November 2021.[6]
