Hopefully the price for electricity will soon reflect the mix.

Non-renewable generation supplied 13 per cent of the electricity system in July, with the remaining 34 per cent imported from Spain.

Goddamn. That's great! Non-renewable is on its way out.

Spain had a renewable share of 55% in 2025. So my back of the napkiny estimate is 71%+ of electricity in Portugal is renewable!
