Portugal experienced extremely beneficial weather conditions in January. It led to 88% of the nation’s electricity being powered by renewables. Additionally, usage of gas-fired power plants was considerably decreased due to substantial precipitation and wind/solar output. The Portuguese grid operator, REN monitored such changes. Up from over 60% in 2022, which was already one of …
