Portugal recently achieved a remarkable milestone in electricity supply, setting a new record by being powered exclusively by renewable energy for over six consecutive days, from October 31st to November 6th. This success, announced by the company Redes Energéticas Nacionais (REN), is a proof of the country's commitment to increase the global share of renewable sources from 56% to 85% by 2030.
During this period, Portugal produced 1.102 gigawatts of electricity, exceeding the 840 gigawatts consumed. The remaining electricity was exported to Spain, highlighting the country's ability to meet its own needs and positively contribute to the Iberian Peninsula region.
RW Portugal applauds these efforts and joins the sustainability cause by adopting electric passenger vehicles, including six fully electric and one hybrid. The shift to electric vehicles has enabled RW Portugal to save over 50% in operating costs compared to fuel-powered vehicles. Furthermore, the company has already conducted a pilot test with an electric vehicle for a strategic client, Nespresso. The route was only around the Lisbon area, and there was no need to recharge the vehicle.
The company will continue to innovate and implement environmental-friendly measures that also promote an efficient economy. By combining Portugal's pleasant weather conditions with the example of REISSWOLF's sustainable practices, the country is paving the way for a greener and economically viable future. This is an inspiring example of how individual and corporate actions can significantly contribute to global environmental goals.
REISSWOLF Portugal follows the Country's steps towards Energy Success.
