this is actually a floating solarfarm, and it s the largest of its kind in europe to be located on a reservoir. and it can generate enough electricity to power 1500 homes in the local area. and it s a pretty impressive sight. construction of the platform began in january 2022 and was finally moored in place five months later. byjuly, it was supplying power to a quarter of the population in the neighbouring portel and moura regions. with a price tag of 6 million euros, the solution isn t cheap, but energy firm edp estimates the solar farm will recoup its investment in a decade. but there s a particular reason why the solar farm was built at this spot. namely, its proximity to the alqueva dam. the hydroelectric plant only used one third of the capacity of the power line, so we have two thirds available.
