Wednesday, 06 February 2013

EDP installed capacity reached 23.4GW in Dec-12, mostly focused in wind and hydro which represents nearly two thirds of installed capacity. Capacity additions during 2012 were focused on hydro in Portugal (+257MW backed by completion of repowering Alqueva II), by wind (+440MW) and new capacity in Brazil (+184MW). In spite of dry weather in Iberia (hydro factor in Portugal was 52% below an average year), 60% of the group's total generation in 2012 derived from hydro and wind. Total generation reached 55TWh in 2012. Energy distributed by EDP rose 2% backed by gas in Iberia.
