The 75% figure is higher than the 2025 annual average of 68% but lower than the February 2026 monthly figure of 79%. The claim does not specify whether it refers to annual consumption or a specific monthly/seasonal period.
The most recent annual data available before the session date (April 2026) was for 2025, showing 68% renewable electricity share.
Portugal's renewable share varies significantly by season due to hydrological conditions and wind patterns.
