The Portuguese government has announced an additional €31.9 million for energy transition projects, including €20 million for grid flexibility and energy storage and €11.9 million for renewable hydrogen and gases, under the revised Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). The application deadline for storage and grid flexibility support has been extended to 23 April, giving companies more time to submit projects. Minister of Environment and Energy Maria da Graça Carvalho stated the goal is to "accelerate the capacity to integrate renewables safely."
No prior coverage of this specific announcement was found in EUMatrix's database. The funding boost comes as Portugal aims to increase its renewable energy share and grid resilience, aligning with EU-wide targets under the European Green Deal and REPowerEU plan. The revised PRR allocation reflects the government's commitment to scaling up clean energy investments, particularly in storage and renewable gases, which are critical for balancing intermittent renewable generation.
