| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT: Portugal started the deployment of wind energy onshore in the early nineties, along with the majority of the European countries and soon became one of the countries with a highest share of wind in the electric energy mix. However, unlike northern “wind countries” the offshore deployment didn’t follow the onshore success story. There are several reasons for that, the most important being the bathymetry of the Portuguese Coast, that prevents the installation of the common fixed to the bottom offshore foundations. To overcome that limitation, Portugal had a very active role in the deployment of the offshore floating technology, being the second country in the world to develop, construct and operate a successful floating wind turbine, WindFloat and, shortly after, a floating wind plant, Wind Atlantic. Those projects demonstrated the adequacy of the floating technology for the existing offshore conditions while recent projects, e.g. PO SEURE OffshorePlan, were characterizing the estimated wind potential and indicated possible planning and deployment paths. In 2022, the Portuguese government created an offshore working group (through Despacho n.º 11404/2022) with the mission to: i) identify the optimal locations, i.e. having a higher estimated potential, a lower impact on the environment and maritime activities while enabling the connection to the existing onshore grid – those areas were finally approved in February 2025; ii) address the most adequate competitive models for the sea-use concessions; and iii) characterize the capacity of Portuguese ports to support the deployment of the wind offshore sector. In 2024, the Portuguese Government announced it would initiate the auction for offshore wind plants still in 2025. The presentation addresses the planning work of the recent years and indicates the next steps for the deployment of the offshore wind sector in Portugal. | eng |
