EDP has brought into operation Portugal's first onshore hydro and solar energy project. The 89 MW Pracana complex, located in central Portugal, combines a 48 MW solar plant with 90,000 panels and the existing 41 MW Pracana hydroelectric facility. It will generate enough energy to supply around 51,800 households and avoid approximately 35,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per year. This project is a significant step for the energy sector and reinforces the company’s commitment to the energy transition.
