Portugal Runs on 100% Renewables Dropping Consumer Electric Bills to Nearly Zero for 6 Days in a Row::In total, there were 149 hours of total renewables generation, 95 of which saw the Portuguese grid exporting to Spain
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.
It still Should cost.
Renewable is far from free
it comes at zero cost to Portugal, as a country, thus not having to import it
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.
feeling edgy today, aren’t we?
Our electric company charges 25% more for renewables.
“Dropping Consumer Electric Bills to Nearly Zero” sorry, but this is a bunch of bullshit.
Portugal runs on renewables. America runs on Dunkins.
Aren’t there any maintenance costs?
“nearly zero”
i’m glad for the renewable production hitting new heights
“consumer electric bills to nearly zero” is utter unsubstantiated bullshit, though
Portugal has one of the highest prices of electricity for consumers in the EU, while having one of the lowest purchasing powers
btw, shit is getting worse for most really, really fast, in part due to the gentrification and deluge of new residents with wallets unfathomably heavier coming from Germany, France, UK and USA to the new Florida of Europe
Not true.

Yet… the electricity bill has tripled since July, as new taxes were introduced to fuck you over. Consumer bills are definitely not dropping and definitely not near zero.
