The Portuguese government has promulgated a new decree on Monday, adopting exceptional measures to simplify permission procedure for renewable energy projects. The new rules are immediately effective for a period of two years.
Portugal has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050. To attain the goal, the country aimed to accelerate its energy transition and expand the amount of renewable energy sources to 80% of total power generation by 2026, four years earlier than originally planned, the government said earlier this month.
