On April 28, 2025, a blackout affected millions of people in Portugal, Spain, and southern France. The cause? A failure in the electrical interconnections that revealed Portugal’s heavy energy dependence on Spain — in 2024 alone, around 20% of our electricity came from there.

During the outage, electricity prices in Portugal soared to €47.92/MWh, while in Spain they remained at €10.24/MWh.

In the days that followed, the Government temporarily restricted energy imports to protect the stability of the national grid. But the warning signal has already been given: we need greater energy independence.

How can you protect your home or business from blackouts?

The solution lies in solar self-consumption and battery storage.

With a solar system equipped with backup (EPS – Emergency Power Supply), your home or business stays powered, even when the grid goes down.

Advantages of solar systems with batteries:

• Total autonomy: produce and consume your own energy.
• Energy security: guaranteed power even during blackouts.
• Real savings: lower electricity bills, more predictability.
• Sustainability: clean energy with zero carbon emissions.
