The Amareleja plant evidences the ability to undertake large scale photovoltaic projects and sets this venture apart as an international benchmark in this type of installation after its extensive experience also in Spain. The construction work was carried out in a record 13 months and the grid connection was completed in December 2008. The plant also provides a major economic stimulus for the region (an area that was losing population), and makes a contribution of 30% to compliance with the Portuguese Government's objectives in photovoltaic solar energy. With an installed capacity of 45.78 MW, the Photovoltaic Plant in Amareleja is one of the biggest in the world that is equipped with tracking in the entire solar field. This plant produces la 93 million kWh enough electricity for 30,000 households, and avoids 89,383 metric tons of carbon emissions each year from coal-fired power stations. ACCIONA was a pioneer in building the 45.78 MWp photovoltaic plant in Amareleja, one of the largest in the world equipped with monitoring throughout the solar farm when it was installed. It covers an area of 250 hectares in Amareleja, part of the municipality of Moura, in Portugal's Alentejo region. ACCIONA has installed a total of 116 MWp in large-scale installations. A 94 MWp plant (74 MW nominal) is currently being built in South Africa, in partnership with Aveng. It has also installed, as a contractor for FRV, the 24 MWp (20 MW nominal) plant in Royalla, one of the largest in the country, south of Canberra.

ENEOP – Eólicas de Portugal, S.A. is a consortium created to win a wind energy tender in 2005-2006. The bid was designed to promote renewable energy as part of an industrial policy, whereby all the steps from turbine design to operation would be located in Portugal. ENEOP won the first and biggest exploitation license at 1,200 MW. In exchange, ENEOP was mandated to build all 1200 MW of new wind capacity by 2013. Until June 30, 2013, the ENEOP has installed a total of 970 MW, compared to about 150 MW at the end of 2009, 450 MW at the end of 2010 and 814 MW by the end of 2011. In these years ENEOP was responsible for the quasi total new installed capacity in Portugal. Wind farms of ENEOP have already provided more than 5.5 TWh (5.5 million MWh) of clean energy to Portugal. ENEOP´s goal and main motivation was to bring the best technology available on the market to Portugal and to help developing a new industrial sector. Besides the gains from carbon-free electricity, the ENEOP consortium helps fostering economic development through job creation. ENEOP originated from the desire of five leading companies in the renewable energy sector: ENERCON, Neo Energia (EDP Group), Finerge, Generg – SGPS and TP (joint venture between SONAE and ENDESA). A major component of ENEOP’s successful bid for tender is its commitment to install, in Portugal, an industrial complex to manufacture the components of the advanced ENERCON wind turbines. The ENEOP3 industrial complex, as planned by ENEOP
and its subsidiary includes the opening of 5 new plants and a R&D and training center in the Viana do Castelo region. This region enjoys an old industrial

The Group is a leading operator in the renewable energy sector, as Portugal’s main producer of green energy from biomass. This capability allows the Group to be self-sufficient and to generate surplus power that it feeds into the national grid. The energy generated at the Portucel Soporcel group's three industrial sites is produced in two distinct ways: - Electricity generated at biomass co-generation plants (CHP) and natural gas co-generation plants: these facilities produce both electricity and heat, and this thermal energy is used in its entirety in manufacturing processes for pulp and paper.
- Electricity generated by biomass power stations: these produce electricity only. Their other defining feature is that 100% of the power produced is fed into the national grid. In the pulp and paper industry, Portucel Soporcel group is of great importance in the national economy, and was honored in June 2013 as the "Best Company in Europe" by the European Business Awards in the category "Business of the Year". The Group's production capacity and exports make it a driving force for Portugal's economy, accounting for approximately 3% of all goods exported by the country, with turnover representing close to 1% of GDP. But the Group does more than manufacture and market pulp and paper. The Portucel Soporcel group is also a leading operator in the biomass energy sector:
More than 50% of all power generated in Portugal from biomass, a renewable source of energy, is produced by the Portucel Soporcel group.
The Group generates 5% of all electricity in Portugal.

The WindFloat project displays an innovative technology that allows the exploitation of wind power offshore, at depths greater than 40 meters. The project's innovation focus is based on the development of a floating platform, based on the experiences of the oil and gas extraction industry, which accommodate a 2 MW wind turbine.
EDPR constantly analyzes the commercial outlook of a wide range of early-stage renewable energy technologies as a way to move forward. The WindFloat project, led by EDP Inovação in partnership with EDPR, provides evidence of this approach. The innovation focus of the project is the development of a floating foundation, based on the experiences from the oil and gas industry, which will support multi-MW wind turbines in offshore applications. The floating foundation is semi-submersible and is anchored to the seabed. Its stability is due to the use of “water entrapment plates” on the bottom of the three pillars, associated with a static and dynamic ballast system. WindFloat adapts to any type of offshore wind turbine. It is built entirely on land - including the installation of the turbine – thus avoiding the use of scarce marine resources.
The WindFloat Project encompasses the design and construction of a demonstration unit, including a 2 MW turbine. The unit has been installed off the Portuguese coast, close to Aguçadoura, and was connected to the grid by the end of Dec 2011. The project is the first offshore wind deployment worldwide which did not require the use of heavy lift equipment offshore. This is the first offshore wind turbine in open Atlantic waters and the first deployment of a semi-submersible structure supporting a multi-megawatt wind turbine.
