Renoval portugal for 4 days and a half

Written by 

The country produced clean energy which resulted in less than a ton of CO2 into the atmosphere.

The Portuguese Renewable Energy Association (APREN) and Zero (System Sustainable Land Association) analyzed the REN data (National Energy Network) and concluded that between 6:45 of the 7th of this month and 17:45 of the 11th of this month, corresponding to a total of 107 hours straight, "struck up an important record in this century" quoted from the Daily News. The president of APREN, António Sá Costa said it is"a harbinger of what will become reality in the near future, which will be 365 days a year." The official also stressed that this milestone "is also a testament to what is possible for all the doubters, adding that "today, more than half of the electricity consumed in about half a year is renewable, the question is not they are still days in a row" .The advantages of four days and means powered by renewable are numerous, since no emission of a tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmospher and not have to import coal or oil. For Zero, the data show that "Portugal can be more ambitious" in a transition to a net consumption of electricity from 100% renewable, with huge reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases, which cause global warming and consequent climate change.

In the first quarter 2016, 72% of electricity consumption in Portugal was fueled by renewable energy sources, according to REN. The company registered on the 18th of February a record production of electricity in Portugal, of 232 GWh, due to peak production of hydro and wind sources. "The National Electricity System had the ability to fit into the network production peaks and maintaining high levels of service quality", explained in a statement.
