πŸ”Œ Portugal TSO Direct Agreements milestone: Over 7 GW of renewable capacity being connected via Direct Agreements

βœ… Over 7 GW of renewable capacity being connected via Direct Agreements
βœ… Involving €500 million in grid upgrades, fully financed by project developers, to be completed by 2030, that is an average value of 71,4 kEur/MVA, substantially lower than the initially 100 kEur/MVA predicted.

πŸ’₯Portugal moves forward with strategic reinforcement of its National Transmission Grid (RNT)

ERSE has published its opinion on the proposal for the Transmission Network Development and Investment Plan – PDIRT-E 2024, covering 2025–2034.

πŸ’Ά Planned investment: €1.691 billion
πŸ“ˆ 65% increase over previous plans
🎯 Aligned with Portugal’s PNEC 2030 decarbonization targets

πŸ“Œ Key highlights from ERSE’s opinion:
Positive evaluation, but calls for clearer decision criteria and better execution risk assessment
Greater justification of projects needed, especially in relation to storage and flexibility
Acceleration of smart grid initiatives: Dynamic Line Rating, Digital Twins, dynamic planning models
Encouragement of closer TSO-DSO cooperation to unlock capacity
Preference for market-based alternatives over traditional capex-heavy investments

πŸ”‹ Caveat: Lack of a storage-first approach may lead to underutilized grid assets and inefficient investment.

πŸ“Š Tariff impact through 2029 is moderate: ~+0.1 p.p. per year in final electricity bills.

This plan is key to addressing grid electrification, renewable integration, and resilience β€” especially following the April 2025 Iberian blackout.
