Coal
Sines power plant (hard coal) started operation in 1985–1989 in Portugal. According to WWF its CO2 emissions were among the top dirty ones in Portugal in 2007.[2] That coal power plant went offline in January 2021, leaving only one remaining coal power plant in the country, which closed at 7h15 on the 19th of November 2021.[3][4]
Portugal's renewable electricity production from 1980 until 2019
Renewable energy in Portugal was the source for 25.7% of total energy consumption in 2013.[5] In 2014, 27% of Portugal's energy needs were supplied by renewable sources.[6] In 2016, 28% of final energy consumption in Portugal came from renewable sources.[7]
Portugal aims to be climate neutral by 2050 and to cover 80% of its electricity consumption with renewables by 2030.[8]
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.[9] As of 2019, coal still provided 40% of Portugal's electricity needs.[8] The last Portuguese coal power plant closed on 19 November 2021.[10]
Solar
Portugal has supported and increased the solar electricity (Photovoltaic power) and solar thermal energy (solar heating) during 2006–2010. Portugal was 9th in solar heating in the EU and 8th in solar power based on total volume in 2010.
Water
Portugal has also been using water power to generate power for the country. In the 2010s, a local company, Wave Roller installed many devices along the coast to make use of the water power.[11]
Nuclear energy in Portugal is very limited and strictly non-commercial. Portugal has one 1MW research reactor located in the National Nuclear Research Centre at Sacavém, which is in permanent shutdown state. Further nuclear energy activities are not planned in the near future. Other nuclear activities include medical applications such as radiology, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine, as well as use of industrial radioactive sources.
In 1971, Portugal planned to build an 8,000 MW nuclear power plant to be completed by 2000. Plans were delayed until 1995 when it was decided to not proceed with the project.[12] In 2004, the Government of Portugal rejected a proposal to reconsider its decision.[13] After the Carnation Revolution, a military coup in April 1974 which overthrew the Estado Novo regime, projects for the construction of nuclear power plants have since been postponed or dismissed by the government.[14][15]
Presently Portugal has no spent fuel. In September 2007, the core of the Portuguese Research Reactor (RPI) was converted from high enriched to low enriched fuel, all enriched uranium as well as all spent fuel has been shipped to the United States in the framework of the “United States Foreign Research Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel Acceptance Program”. Liquid effluents produced in the RPI, as well as effluents of medical applications are stored locally, and later discharged in accordance with national law. Solid radioactive waste and discarded sealed sources are centrally stored in the national intermediate radioactive waste storage.

Pego power plant
The electricity use in Portugal (gross production + imports – exports – losses) was 51.2 TWh in 2008. Portugal imported 9 TWh electricity in 2008. Population was 10.6 million.[16] In 2018 electricity was generated by 23% hydroelectricity, 26% natural gas, 22% wind, 20% coal, 5% biomass, 2% solar and 2% oil. In 2019 electricity was generated by 19% hydroelectricity, 32% natural gas, 26% wind, 10% coal, 6% biomass, 2% solar, 2% oil and 1% other combustibles.[17][18][19]
Transport
The sustainable strategy has been a shift from individual to collective transport within the Lisbon Metropolitan Area (Metro Lisbon (ML), collective buses, Companhia Carris de ferro de Lisboa).
