    I’m pretty sure I still pay all the renewable energy I consume at home. I wish the bill was zero, that would be amazing.

      I’m going to go ahead and assume that the article means it comes at zero cost to Portugal, as a country, thus not having to import it. It would be fairly misleading though.

        i’m always confused by this. does this include traditional fuel or just the electric grid?

          Nope, all of Portugal now only has electric vehicles. No air planes, only zeppelins and hot air balloons. No boats, only floaty arm bands, rafts, canoes, and kayaks.
