Contributions to the National Energy and Climate Plan until June 5

The public consultation of the National Energy and Climate Plan (PNEC) will run until June 5, during which time it is possible to submit contributions for the preparation of the final document.

The Ministry of Environment and Energy Transition reinforces that PNEC "will be the main instrument of energy and climate policy for the decade 2021-2030."

The Ministry, under the tutelage of Matos Fernandes, states that Portugal, in order to be at the forefront of the energy transition, set "ambitious targets for 2030, such as the 45% to 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, compared to 2005 levels."

"It takes a huge collective effort to structure an energy transition that enhances and optimizes the national industrial, technological and scientific fabric to take advantage of existing opportunities," warned the Secretary of State for Energy.

He added that "quality public policies, universities, research centers and companies committed to energy transition and a financial system that effectively finances what needs to be financed" are needed to achieve these goals.”
