Portugal over 90% renewable electricity in May and June
- anovikov 2y agoReality check: 41.5% of electricity in Portugal in June was provided by net imports. https://energy-charts.info/charts/energy_pie/chart.htm?l=en&c=PT&interval=month&year=2024&legendItems=0w9&month=06 https://energy-charts.info/charts/energy_pie/chart.htm?l=en&... Over H1 2024 overall, indeed Portugal shows good results with 80%+ of it's power consumed being domestically produced renewables, 8.7% fossil fuels, and 11.1% imports. Because all import is from Spain, which had 60%+ renewables too, and only 12.5% fossils, it is like, 10.1% or so fossil-derived power overall, which is a good result.
- durkie 2y agoWhat's the reality check? It sounds like your result basically agrees with the link title.
- Jedd 2y agoIs that 10.1% effectively agreeing with TFA that ~90% of electricity consumed in Portugal was sourced from renewables?
- anovikov 2y agoYes but not in the last two months. In the last 6 months, yes.
- thebruce87m 2y agoSo the reality check is actually better than the headline?
