OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels: Country Notes
This new web format for Country Notes on Fossil Fuel Support provides interactive on-line access to the latest data from the OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels by country – identifying and estimating the value of support arising from policies that encourage the production or consumption of fossil fuels. The web version allows users to download, share and play with the data. Interactive graphics enable data visualisation, in national currency, by beneficiary and by energy product. These Country Notes provide, for each of the 50 economies covered in the Inventory, a snapshot of energy market structure, the current state of energy prices and taxes, and recent developments and trends in fossil fuel support. Data and country notes for the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries have been collected and prepared as part of the GREEN Action Task Force.

Portugal
Portugal is highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, which has stimulated efforts to diversify and secure its energy supplies, especially by encouraging the use of natural gas and renewable energy sources. Natural gas, first introduced in Portugal in 1997 via imports, has reached 23% of its total energy supply (TES) in 2018. Portugal is one of the few advanced economies for which renewable energy is the only form of energy produced indigenously. Renewable energy averaged about 25% of TES and 51% of electricity generation in 2018.
