Prime Minister António Costa announced on Monday that public hearings on a proposal to delimit zones for the deployment of “offshore” wind power will begin this week, with an auction expected until September.
“Today I can announce that this week we will open public hearings on proposals to delineate deployment areas and that before the last quarter of this year we will launch our first offshore wind power auction,” said António Costa in his speech at the Ocean Race Summit, which is taking place in the city of Mindelo in Cape Verde, with the participation, among others, of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres.
Earlier, the head of the Portuguese government already recalled that in June at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, he pointed to “Portugal’s goal of reaching 10 gigawatts of power generated by offshore wind energy by 2030.”
