More than 70% of Portugal's electricity currently comes from renewable sources.

Omissions

• The claim does not specify a period. REN's most recent full-year data (2025) puts renewables at about 68% of national electricity consumption, i.e. below the claimed 'more than 70%', whereas the 2024 record year was 71%.
• REN's 'share of national consumption' is not identical to Eurostat's 'share of gross electricity consumption', which applies normalisation to hydro and wind and generally yields different (often lower) values for Portugal.
• The 2024 figure of 71% and the 2025 figure of ~68% are official TSO data published in January 2025 and January 2026 respectively; the claim reflects the more favourable (record) 2024 year rather than the latest available period.
• No 2026 full-year data existed at the session date; only rolling/partial figures were available.
