A
domestic electricity supply in Portugal is in general
very reliable, however more rural, remote areas will be
prone to power cuts during the winter months. Portugal
at present is not self sufficient in it's electricity
generation, however with the construction of new
sustainable energy plants in the forms of solar farms,
hydro-electric plants and wave farms, they are well on
their way to harnessing renewable energies in line with
the Kyoto Protocol.
Various
levels of power are available depending upon the amount
of usable you will expect to use at your property,
something you can discuss and be advised upon with the
electricity supply company - EDP (Energias de
Portugal). Even after you have chosen the level of
supply you make with EDP and a contract made, you can
change this level at any time. Triphase electricity is
also available in Portugal. |
