ENERG

Solar energy is the radiant light and heat from the sun
that has been harnessed by humans since ancient times
using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar
radiation along with secondary solar resources account
for most of the available renewable energy on earth.

However, only a minuscule fraction of the available

solar energy can be used to:

• Generate Electricity
• Heating and Cooling
• Cooking
• Water Desalination
AN
AMBITIO
US Lisboa Cidade Solar is Lisbon’s solar strategy and an integral part

SOLAR of the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan , approved by

the municipality in the framework of the Covenant of Mayors for
Climate and Energy. Based on this strategy, they city set some
STRATEG ambitious goals:

Y • To have, by 2021, a cumulative PV capacity of 8 MW installed

in buildings;

• To reach by 2021, a capacity of 2 MW installed in a centralized

power plant feeding the public fleet of electrical buses and
waste management trucks;

• To have by 2030, a cumulative capacity of 103 MW installed in

the city.

The Lisboa Cidade Solar

programme, supported by
the Horizon 2020
Programme, aims to create
common ground, based on
economies of scale, in order
to make green cities a
reality.
 SOLIS
PROYECT
SOLIS is supposed to be the cornerstone of this strategy. The
project was the result of a partnership between the energy agency
and the municipality. Co-financed by the Portuguese Ministry of
the Environment, a multidisciplinary team of experts in Solar PV
technologies, geographic Information Systems, cartography,
communication and marketing worked on the platform.

 More than a

But SOLIS is more than just a map: it gives citizens the
opportunity to be involved in the local energy system.
They can register their own solar systems and provide
their feedback and testimonies. They have the possibility
to estimate the electricity production from their rooftop
and the associated investment and revenue. It should
generate a new generation of solar energy citizens.

NOW
Despite the use of renewable energy, some of them
still generate polluting and inefficient energy
production in 2020, production in the city of
Lisbon depends on:

• 55% of the electricity generated came from

hydraulic sources, while wind sources
accounted for 42% of production; the rest was
obtained from biomass and some solar sources,
which are the least available in Portugal.
 FUTURE
In the future, if we want to reduce the use of fossil fuels, we will have to
build a model that combines different energy sources. Photovoltaic
energy has the potential to be one of the main ones.

Lisbon plans to rely heavily on this type of energy over the next decade
with both public and private projects

Thus resulting in one of the first cities that depend on solar energy in the
world, benefiting the environment and the inhabitants of Lisbon with less
polluting, more efficient and more economical consumption .
