ADENE - Agência para a Energia

During the general lockdown, when energy poverty was a much-discussed issue, several extraordinary support measures for electricity consumption were enacted to mitigate the effects of increased use during this time of year.

ADENE and Antena1 launched the “All the Energy” podcast series, in which Rui Alves de Sousa speaks weekly with experts about energy efficiency, renewable energy, and technology’s role in transforming the energy future.

ADENE has released a new digital publication for the industrial sector: “Energy Efficiency in Industrial Refrigeration Systems – Good Practice Guide,” which brings together guidance on using energy more efficiently in these systems.

In November, electricity consumption fell by 1.8% compared with the same month last year, while electricity generation from non-renewable sources increased by 4.8%.

In October, electricity consumption increased by 3.1% compared with the same month last year, with renewable energy supplying 68% of electricity consumption, non-renewables 10%, and the net import balance standing at 22%.
