The Poland-based company has opened its Lisbon branch and will soon start work on its first contract in Portugal involving projects with a total capacity of more than 70 MW located in six different districts: Évora, Santarém, Castelo Branco, Leiria, Coimbra and Aveiro.
The power plants for which Nomad Electric is to implement the project are expected to generate a total of approximately 120 GWh of electricity per year. The company will provide the power plant control systems, SCADA with its proprietary 'Nomad NX' software and ensure system compatibility with the electricity transmission system operator REN and the distribution network operator E-REDES. In the next step, the company plans to start providing maintenance services (O&M),
9 GW PV capacity in Portugal by 2030
„The correct configuration of the control system in cooperation with the distribution network operator is a critical element in the construction and commissioning of any photovoltaic farm. We provide a complete solution - both hardware and software - that allows collaboration with E-Redes IT systems. Another key issue is to ensure that electricity production is maximized, in particular, in farms with tracking systems (trackers). As part of the project, we will also provide a solution in this regard”, explained José Andrade, Service Manager of Nomad Electric in Portugal.

„The current geopolitical situation has had a significant impact on accelerating the energy transition process and the development of renewable energy sources in particular. This is no different in Portugal, where the government plans to increase the share of RES in the country's energy mix from 20 to 80 per cent by 2026, four years earlier than originally planned. In terms of Portuguese photovoltaic capacity, this is set to increase from the current 2 GW to 9 GW in 2030”, added Paweł Muszyński, Business Development Director of Nomad Electric. (hcn)
