Does electricity produced from renewable sources in Portugal account for 75%? SIC Verifica analyzes

Renewable sources accounted for 75.6% of electricity production in mainland Portugal during the first half of 2026, a decrease of 3.7 percentage points compared to 2025. Hydroelectric power remains the primary renewable source (30.7%) over wind (28%), and the recent 2.7% increase in the regulated electricity tariff is due to higher wholesale acquisition costs for the supplier, not a direct reflection of renewable production levels.
