Image ID: /clip/c0368c9c-3637-48c3-95f8-ccfe693094e2_media-libre-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg Today's total eclipse will reduce the peninsular photovoltaic generation by approximately 5 GW by 8:30 p.m., which is equivalent to about 13% of the maximum demand in a typical summer day. Although the Electric Network has reinforced its reserves without predicting impacts on the supply by coinciding with the natural drop in radiation, this phenomenon hig…
One of the rarest astronomical phenomena of the last decades will cross Portugal this Wednesday and change, for a few minutes, the normal routine of the country. But how far can the effects of a solar eclipse get? Listen to the new episode of the Economy day by day, daily podcast of the Express led by Juliana Simões
Portugal is preparing to compensate for the fall in photovoltaic production during the eclipse that can be seen this Wednesday.
Network operator estimates that eclipse causes a loss in solar production equivalent to 7% of the national consumption expected for that time, and will mobilize more water and thermal energy.
REN Prepares Portugal’s Electricity System for Solar Eclipse Impact on Power Generation
REN Prepares Portugal’s Electricity System for Solar Eclipse Impact on Power Generation (IN BRIEF) REN – Redes Energéticas Nacionais is preparing Portugal’s National Electric System for the effects of the nearly total solar eclipse expected on 12 August 2026. The eclipse is forecast to reduce centralised solar generation by around 450 MW, equal to about 45 percent of projected solar output during the affected period and around 7 percent of elect…
