Solar energy
We harness the power of the sun
At EDP, we believe in the limitless potential of solar energy.
As an abundant and renewable resource, sunlight is essential for life on Earth and serves as a clean and sustainable source of electricity. Solar energy can be harnessed anywhere the sun shines, making it a vital component in building a greener and more resilient energy system.
As part of our commitment to a sustainable future, we continue to expand and innovate in solar energy. By making this clean, affordable energy accessible to everyone, we are helping to drive the energy transition and ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.

Centralized Solar Energy
These are large installations, such as solar parks. The energy generated is transmitted through electrical grids to be distributed to various locations.
Decentralized Solar Energy
It is more common in residential or commercial and business installations. The energy generated can be consumed locally.
Our commitment to solar extends to both large-scale and decentralised projects, ensuring a robust renewable energy landscape.
