Portugal bets on clean energy to attract investors

Clean energy investment in Portugal is rapidly becoming one of the most compelling ways to secure the Golden Visa while contributing to a sustainable global future. With a renewable energy matrix powered by solar, wind, and hydro sources, Portugal leads Europe in clean electricity generation—offering long-term returns and strong ESG value to investors.

 

Portugal: A European Clean Energy Leader

In 2024, 71% of Portugal’s electricity came from renewable sources—ranking among the top countries in Europe.

  • Hydropower: 28%
  • Wind: 27%
  • Solar: 10% (with 37% YoY growth)

 

In April 2024, Portugal set a national record: 95% of its electricity was produced from renewables. And looking ahead:

  • 80% clean electricity by 2030
  • Carbon neutrality by 2050
  • 10 GW offshore wind capacity targeted
