Power 
 

The aim of the power business is to develop a competitive energy generation portfolio with cogeneration plants, wind power and develop the marketing of electricity

Besides the existing cogenerations (with an installed capacity of 163 MW) and the cogeneration under construction in the Matosinhos refinery, Galp Energia included wind power in the portfolio with an installed capacity of 12 MW.

 

As a provider of integrated energy solutions, Galp Energia created in 2008 a department for trading electricity, which started its operations in September 2009. The purpose was to promote development of the market for electricity with a view to safeguarding the natural gas client base in an unregulated market environment. Galp Energia is one of the few companies in the world with a tri-fuel offer, including gas, electricity and oil products.
