After years of underinvestment in solar PVs, it allocated 2.3GW of new solar power capacity in its 2019, 2020 and 2021 solar auctions. The tenders set world records for the lowest solar tariff price. In 2020, Portugal also took the unconventional approach of awarding eight of the 12 blocks put to auction to the storage option.
known as embedded generation, on-site generation, dispersed generation and decentralized generation. Both heat and electricity can be generated in a decentralized manner. But heat cannot be transported over long distances; thus it has been traditionally generated onsite. Shifting to decentralized power generation allows for
Improved Energy Security: Microgrids enhance energy security by offering decentralized energy generation and distribution. In cases of natural disasters or cyber-attacks that disrupt the main grid, microgrids can operate independently, ensuring continuous power supply to critical facilities like hospitals, military installations, and emergency shelters.
