The European Investment Bank (Banco Europeu de Investimento or BEI) has approved a €175 million financing package to Iberdrola for two hybrid wind farms in the Tâmega area in northern Portugal, to be integrated with the Tâmega pumped‑storage hydro complex. Reports say the combined installations will add capacity linked to the Gouvães, Daivões and Alto Tâmega systems and help supply tens or hundreds of thousands of consumers; coverage highlights the project's role in Portugal's renewables and storage strategy. Local economic and environmental impacts will follow during construction; residents and jobseekers in the north should watch for procurement and local consultation notices.
