Adaptação às mudanças climáticas
O nosso compromisso de adaptação
Visa melhorar a resiliência das infraestruturas da EDP às alterações climáticas. As alterações climáticas tornaram-se uma realidade e os seus efeitos já se fazem sentir em todo o mundo. Sob a prioridade de adaptação, a EDP está a avaliar o nível de exposição das infraestruturas da EDP aos riscos físicos climáticos, considerando os cenários do IPCC a curto, médio e longo prazo, reduzidos quando possível aos cenários regionalizados.
Adaptation is embedded in our strategy
Strengthening our ability to anticipate risks, protect assets, and deliver a safe and reliable service to customers.
Diversifying technologies and geographies
Enhancing energy flexibility
Promoting hybridisation
Developing grids automation
Partnering to improve climate modeling
Invest in climate-resilient infrastructures
Adequate teams and processes
Improve energy management
Promote collaboration among stakeholders
We are committed to continuously assessing climate risks and ensuring that our most exposed infrastructures are safeguarded through comprehensive climate adaptation plans. To support these plans, our Adaptation Building Blocks define the key areas we work on, supported by a time-response approach that guides how we act before, during and after climate‑related events.
By 2028, all infrastructure exposed to material climate risk will be covered by Climate Adaptation Plans - a key step in maintaining operational resilience, minimising disruptions, and ensuring long-term sustainability in an increasingly volatile climate.
Adaptation Building Blocks
Redesign workflows and processes to address short-term extremes.
Redesign components, assets or projects to guarantee operational continuity and use Nature features to address adverse effects.
Innovate through digital solutions to improve operational resilience.
Partner to improve climate forecasts and develop new solutions to enhance resilience.
Advocate and collaborate to foster and internalise new adaptation solutions.
Time‑Response Approach
All of this ensures a strong and focused governance model, ready at all times to implement climate risk assessment and address climate change impacts.
Together, the Adaptation Building Blocks and the Time‑Response Approach help us integrate climate risks into daily decision‑making - from how we design and operate our assets to how we plan investments, work with partners and protect the communities that rely on our energy.
Key adaptation opportunities
Flood-resilient infrastructures
The Aldaia substation in Valencia remained operational during severe flooding, thanks to climate risk-informed design.
Extreme temperature management
Upgrades to wind turbines and thermal management systems reduce shutdowns and improve reliability.
Water scarcity solutions
Hydroscrews and turbine upgrades increase generation efficiency even in dry seasons.
Material upgrades
Fibreglass poles and polymeric crossarms in Brazil’s distribution networks enhance durability and reduce maintenance.
Nature-based solutions
Partnerships with ForestWise and reforestation projects in Portugal and Spain reduce wildfire and landslide risks.
Digitalisation and AI
Tools like the Water Board platform and Protheus decision support system use AI and advanced analytics to optimise weather forecasts, planning and resilience.
We value international agreements and initiatives
EDP's commitment to the world is to achieve cleaner and greener energy. In addition to decarbonisation, we are implementing measures to fight climate change, following the recommendations from the report by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and adhering to numerous international initiatives that promote sustainability.
