Emerging tech
Our investment in innovative tech
As a leader in the energy transition, EDP is committed to developing innovative and sustainable solutions that help achieve decarbonisation targets.
By combining different energy sources, investing in infrastructure for hydrogen production and implementing advanced storage technologies, EDP is paving the way for a greener and more sustainable energy future.
Accelerating the energy transition through hybridization
Hybrid energy systems are becoming mainstream
Hybrid energy systems, which feed electricity generated from two or more renewable sources into the same grid connection point, are increasingly becoming mainstream. EDP is a world pioneer in the creation and development of hybrid energy projects, with hybrid power plants in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific.
Energy storage – a new solution for green energy
Storing energy for when it is needed is not a new concept, but it's particularly important in an increasingly electrified world. Improving energy storage solutions ensures the flexibility of a power grid focused on renewable energies.
Renewable hydrogen, a new power for a cleaner future
Hydrogen has the capacity to support the decarbonization of various sectors and several studies have estimated that this energy source and its derivatives may represent up to 25% of the final energy use by 2050. Aware of this, EDP is focused and investing in infrastructures and innovation needed to scale up hydrogen production.
