Photovoltaics continue to expand their presence in Portugal’s power system. In August, generation reached a new peak of around 3,850 MW, supported by the growth in installed capacity.
The result is particularly significant because it was achieved despite weather conditions that were less favorable for photovoltaic generation during the month. At the same time, electricity consumption in Portugal increased by 1.2% compared with August of the previous year.
The trend in the first eight months of 2026 confirms the growing role of this technology: renewable sources covered 66% of national electricity consumption, with photovoltaics alone accounting for 13%.
The growth of photovoltaic generation in Portugal reflects a market in which every new installation helps strengthen the role of this technology within the power system. Peimar supports this evolution with a range of modules designed to meet different applications and project requirements, from residential and commercial systems to larger-scale projects.
