The energy transition plays a central role in decarbonization, and Akuo is actively contributing to this process. This presentation highlights the Santas Solar Farm as a key example within Portugal’s energy transition, demonstrating how large-scale solar projects support decarbonisation, enhance energy security, and promote sustainability. The project is presented as an example of industry best practices, reflecting high standards in project development, implementation, and integration within the national energy system. Within the context of Portugal’s renewable energy strategy, the presentation underscores the importance of solar power in building a resilient and low-carbon energy system.
