As a member of the EU, Portugal is a country committed to reducing it's reliance on fossil fuels and addressing a change in attitude to global warming. In 2001 Portugal launched a new energy policy, E4 (Energy Efficiency and Endogenous Energies), to help highlight the change from the reliance on fossil fuels to alternative, renewable sources. The aims of this policy was to diversify the access to energy sources on the market, to improve efficiency of energy suppliers and to reduce the external bills as well as sourcing alternative renewable energies - geo-thermal, tidal, solar, wave and wind power within Portugal. The initiative's success was boosted with an announcement in January 2007 by Prime Minister Jose Socrates, an environmental activist in his youth, of his government's intention to provide nearly half of the country's electricity from bio fuels within a three year period, ahead of targets set by the Kyoto Protocol in 2010. read more http://www.gekkoportugal.com/sustainable_energy_in_portugal%20renewable%20energy%20in%20portugal.htm The European Union is a global leader in funding, resourcing and implementing renewable energy sources.
