Wind power met 25.4% of Portugal's electricity use in 2025
Wind energy supplied 25.4% of mainland Portugal's electricity consumption in 2025, generating 13.5 TWh out of 53.1 TWh total demand, according to a report by INEGI and APREN. Despite this, the sector saw renewed stagnation in new installed capacity, falling short of the pace needed to meet the 2030 National Energy and Climate Plan targets of 10.4 GW onshore and 2 GW offshore wind. Only 446.8 MW was under construction, much of it from hybrid projects combining wind with existing solar or hydro sites. Viseu remains the district with most installed wind capacity, while Évora has none.
