EDPR brings 202-MWp solar farm on stream in Portugal

Portugal
EDP Renewables has launched operations at its largest solar farm in Europe, the 202-MWp Cerca Photovoltaic Plant in Portugal, the company announced on Monday.

The plant, situated north of Lisbon, deploys more than 310,000 bifacial solar panels and will have an annual production of around 330 GWh.

Portugal-headquartered EDPR is the fourth-largest producer of renewable energy worldwide.

It won the Cerca project in Portugal’s first-ever solar energy auction, held in 2019.

The country has one of Europe’s highest shares of renewables in the energy mix, having reached 61% in 2023. It targets an 85% share by 2030.
