Driving energy change

Energy transition demands our best

At the heart of what we do remains energy, which moves people, businesses, and the planet. But as a leader in the processes of energy transition, throughout our presence in four regions of the planet (Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific), we know that rethinking energy is a constant need, anticipating transformations necessary for sustainability and developing new paths to an increasingly greener planet. We are ready to do more, to do it better and to do it now.

We invest in the future by investing in changes today

The world population continues to grow, the need for more energy demands new ways to think about energy. At EDP, we work every day bearing in mind that change happens in an increasingly faster way, which amplifies the solutions needed for a constant improvement in the quality of life of the current and future generations. Our investment is clear.

Rethinking thermal powerplants role in a greener tomorrow

Because we choose Earth, where there was coal, there will be renewable hydrogen, solar power, small hydro plants, energy storage batteries and forests, transforming thermal power stations from Portugal, Spain and Brazil into green hubs. And that’s just a glimpse of what we are doing.

The path to and beyond 9 plants

Between the sites that are already in a more advanced decommissioning process (such as Setúbal, Carregado, Sines, Tunes, Puente Nuevo and part of Soto de Ribera) and those that will continue to operate until 2025 or a little beyond (like group 2 of Aboño, converting to natural gas, group 3 of Soto de Ribera and Central de Los Barrios), EDP's power plants have their green path well marked.

This is a journey that branches out across the various renewable energy sources that make up EDP's portfolio, focusing on hybridisation, energy storage and complementarity as ways of guaranteeing the solidity of each project and of sustainability of the entire electricity system.

9 power plants, 9 success stories on the road to a sustainable future
Each power plant that we own has its particular story, a story that embraces energy but also the particularities of each town and community that lives around it.

The future of thermal power plants is green

EDP is accelerating decarbonisation towards green generation. The thermal power stations in Spain, Portugal and Brazil, which for decades have been essential for supplying populations and industries, will now be a key element in the energy transition.
