Portugal needs more wind capacity to replace
Portugal risks becoming even more dependent on electricity imports if more wind and solar capacity are not installed. Electrification
energy (line graph).instantaneous demand value (8,595 MW) occurred at 19:30 on the 26th of January 2022, when wind generation was 2,019 MW (35 % of the capacity installed).Maximum daily contribution from the wind: On the 19th of December 2022, wind power supplied Portugal with 101.4 GWh of electricity, etting a new record. This accounted for
According to the IEA Portugal Energy Policy Review, the government sees a role for Portugal to play in offshore wind generation and has approved six sites for floating offshore wind deployment.
The country has just one offshore wind project that started operations four years ago. The Global Wind Energy Council has reported that Portugal has 131 GW of offshore wind potential, of which 117 GW (89%) should be floating due to the conditions of the seabed off the country's Atlantic coast.

Nevertheless, approximately 10 GW of wind capacity is expected to be achieved by repowering existi ctivity conducted insimilarly increased by 5% from 2021, now sta ding at a 12% share.The average wind power produc-tion at full capacity stood at 2,339 full load hours, indicating a slight decrease of
