Shafaqna English– Speaking on Thursday(30 Jul 2026), the CEO of EDP, Portugal’s leading energy utility, revealed that the nation’s electricity demand is forecast to expand by 4.5% annually on a compounded basis throughout the next decade.
Such a remarkable growth trajectory would firmly place Portugal among the fastest-growing electricity markets in all of Europe, a development largely attributable to a robust and expanding pipeline of data centre investments that continue to pour into the country.
