Escola Secundária de Emídio
Navarro- Viseu
In order to reduce the most we can the “carbon deficit” and
the national emissions until 2012, we’ll adopt special
measures to reinforce The National Programme of Climatic
Changes. We will proceed the important investment we have
done on renewable energies (eolic, hydric and photovoltaic )
in order to accomplish and achieve the communitarian line
established to Portugal (30% of renewable energies until
2020). There is a plan – PEAASAR (Strategic Plan for Water
Supply and Wastewater Disposal) which is a priority among
others. In a country like Portugal, which doesn’t have fossil
energetic resources, the use of renewable energies should be
one of the main goals of the national energetic politic.
Does Portuguese
Government promotes
the use of renewable
sources of energy?
Yes. The legislation
considers a financial
support for the solar
panels acquisition
Artigo 2º; Decreto Lei nº 29/2001/M, de 20 de Dezembro
And what about
the transports?
The projects whose objectives
are the renovation of public
transports’ fleets in order to
decrease the environment
pollution, can be financially
supported.

Hydropower
 In Portugal, the water is considered as a public well; the State
imposes taxes to the private ones that want to use it.
 Portugal has a Strategic Plan of Water-Supply and Residuals
Waters, PEAASAR 2007-2013, that has, as main aims:
• To overstep the needs of low systems ;
• To reinforce the economical and financial sustainability of
the already installed system;
• To launch requalification programs of the main Portuguese
rivers.

LINDOSO / ALTO LINDOSO
Here in Lindoso, river
Lima, was born in
Portugal, in the year
1922, the first big
dam. The power, 8750
KVA was very much
significative at that
time. In that same
year, it became
possible, to reach the
city of Oporto, using
the electric cables
built in 1918 and 1922,
and take the energy
produced,
Exactly on the same
place where in the first
quarter of the 20th
century was built the
first dike, is now built
the big dam of Alto
Lindoso with 630 MW
power.
The old dam - 1922
The new dam - 1992

PORTUGUESE SOLAR PARKS
Solar energy
This type of energy uses light energy
radiated by the sun to produce electricity. It’s
the source of almost all energy available to
man, is as vital energy or strength and motor
processing in the execution of daily tasks. It’s
common in calculators or garden lighting and
despite not yet being used to produce large
amounts of industrial electricity, the costs of
their use have been drastically reduced and the
areas where solar energy is used are growing
quickly .
SERPA
The photovoltaic park in Serpa is the
biggest park in the world producing solar
energy (almost the double of the biggest
park in Germany). It has 52 thousand
solar panels, spread for 32 hectares of
land.
The equipment used in Serpa, will
allow a reduction of 22000 tons of
CO2 each year;
MOURA
The park in Moura has 46 MWp of power and produces 93 millions of
kWh, enough energy for 30 thousand Portuguese homes. The park will
prevent the production of 89383 tons of CO2 each year.
FERREIRA DO ALENTEJO
It has 45500 solar pannels, producing each year 19 GWh, enough
energy to supply 7300 houses and save about 32 thousand tons of
gas emissions ( CO2) each year
ALMODÔVAR
The Solar Park is the 3rd biggest photovoltaic park in the national territory.
It has 426 solar towers spread in na area of 22,3394 hectares, and produces
2,15 MW.
In order to obtain the best results from the solar energy, the towers are
equipped with a metal mechanical structure which regulates the orientation
angle of the panels, according to the solar hour.
MÉRTOLA
The second solar park at the district of Mértola is already
operating . The photovoltaic park of Olva, has got a capacity for
almost 2,4 MW and has 14870 solar panels. Its annual production is
3800 MWh, energy enough to supply 980 homes, and it will prevent
2650 tons of CO2 emissions each year.
FATIMA SANCTUARY
Fatima Sanctuary possesses a solar park, being able to provide the
National Energy Net. This way, the Sanctuary is now a more efficient building as well as
environment friend.
Each year, the energy produced by this park will allow to reduce the carbon dioxide
emissions in 77,2 tons. This reduction is equivalent to 31390 litres of non spent
gasoline or 160 barrels of not used fuel oil.
Fatima Sanctuary will also be able to reduce significantly the energetic bill, as the
energy produced by the solar park, will be sold to the National Energy Net.

Eolic energy
 In order to answer to the challenges of the climate
changes, at the Quioto’s Protocol Board, Portugal
has a special program, PNAC – National Program for
the Climate Changes, which have the main aims:
• Reduce, as most as possible, the carbon’s deficit
and the national emissions until 2012;
• Reach the communitarian goal established to
Portugal, 30% of the renewable energies until
2020.
 The companies that hold the exploration licenses of
eolic parks have to pay the rent to the
municipalities where those are installed.
