Solar energy

We harness the sun's energy

Solar light is an essential source of energy for life on Earth. All living organisms, from microscopic bacteria to complex plants and animals, depend either directly or indirectly on sunlight for their survival and growth. This vital energy enables crucial biological processes and sustains the planet's ecosystems. In addition, solar energy enables the production of renewable electricity, providing a sustainable source of energy for as long as the sun shines.

At EDP, we're committed to making this clean, affordable energy accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Lighting up communities 

At EDP, we use the power of the sun to empower communities and drive social change. Our initiatives go beyond clean electricity; they promote equality and build connections that demonstrate how renewable energy can transform lives. 

By reducing energy costs and creating educational opportunities, we aim to promote sustainable development and community cohesion.

Pioneering solar innovation

Our cutting-edge research and innovative technologies are shaping the future of solar energy. By focusing on hybridisation, we are combining solar power with other renewables to improve efficiency and reliability.

We're leading advances in offshore solar and developing energy storage solutions to ensure a stable power supply even when the sun isn't shining. By integrating solar with hydro, we are paving the way for a more sustainable energy landscape.
