On 21 April 2025, Order 4752/2025 (Order), from the Secretary of State for the Sea and the Secretary of State for Energy, was published, defining the model for the competitive procedure to be adopted for the first tender for allocating injection capacity and developing offshore wind energy projects in Portugal and sets out their preparation.
Competitive model adopted
The Order establishes the adoption of a centralised sequential model. This model presupposes the prior completion of a competitive procedure for allocating permits for the private use of maritime areas (TUPEM), followed by another competitive procedure for allocating permits to reserve injection capacity in the electricity grid (TRC) and a contract for differences (CfD).
Next steps for implementing the competition
Morais Leitão’s Energy and Natural Resources team is available to clarify any questions you may have in this area.
