Resumo
In Portugal, the presence of high temperature geothermal resources is restricted to the volcanic islands of Azores Archipelago, located in the North Atlantic Ocean and which are associated with the triple junction of the North American, Eurasian and African (or Nubian) plates. Present investments at the Ribeira Grande Geothermal Field on the island of S. Miguel implemented by EDA RENOVÁVEIS S.A. company led the installed generation capacity in the island to a total of 27.8 MW, with the contribution of the Pico Vermelho plant (13 MW net), which went into operation in November 2006. On Terceira Island, the 4 MW Pico Alto pilot power plant started in operation in August 2017 and was officially inaugurated in November 2017, running regularly since then. Thus, power production from geothermal resources in Azores presently meets 42% of the electrical consumption of the S. Miguel island, 10.8% of the electrical consumption of Terceira island, and 25.7% of the total demand of the archipelago. Power production is stabilized since 2013. Geothermal continue to be expected to assume an even more impressive role for electric power selfsufficiency of this Autonomous Region of Portugal, particularly in S. Miguel and Terceira Islands. However, its development is now considered in conjunction with other renewable energy sources, particularly wind energy. Low-temperature geothermal resources in Mainland Portugal are exploited for direct uses in balneotherapy and small heating systems. In Portugal, ground source heat pump technology (GSHP) is gaining penetration in the heating and cooling of buildings market.
