Portugal electricity generation by source; terawatt-hours and share of total, 2024.
Portugal’s electricity generation is compared across seven source categories in 2024. Output is measured in terawatt-hours, with each category’s share uses 51.09 TWh of national generation. Large hydropower was the largest source at 17.46 TWh, or 34.2%, followed by wind at 28.2%. The six renewable categories together supplied 86.2% of generation, while the non-renewable residual accounted for 13.8%.
| Rank | Entry | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Large hydropower | 17.46 | 2024 |
| 2 | Wind power | 14.42 | 2024 |
| 3 | Solar photovoltaic | 7.09 | 2024 |
| 4 | Non-renewable sources | 7.03 | 2024 |
| 5 | Biomass | 3.75 | 2024 |
| 6 | Small hydropower | 1.13 | 2024 |
| 7 | Geothermal | 0.20 | 2024 |

Evidence: Supports total electricity generation, renewable generation and six renewable technologies in Portugal for 2024.
The source provides renewable technologies individually but not non-renewable technologies by fuel in this source. The residual is therefore labelled non-renewable sources rather than split further.
The six renewable technologies are used as published. Non-renewable generation equals total generation minus total renewable generation, and every segment share uses total generation as the denominator.
All direct inputs use the same DGEG source family, 2024 period and GWh unit; the residual uses only same-source values.
