The proposal includes investments to combat energy poverty and promote more accessible and sustainable mobility, focusing on vulnerable families most exposed to the impacts of rising fossil fuel prices.
The plan aims to support around 50,000 vulnerable families with housing energy efficiency measures and 5,000 vulnerable families with mobility electrification. Additionally, it plans to support approximately 10,000 micro-enterprises in fleet electrification and the acquisition of about 700 electric buses to enhance transport services in low-density territories and autonomous regions.
Managed by the Climate Agency (APC), the plan's objective is to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and energy expenditure, creating conditions for the most vulnerable families and micro-enterprises to benefit from the transition to cleaner and more efficient solutions.
The Minister of Environment and Energy, Maria da Graça Carvalho, emphasized that this Plan is central to the country's energy transition strategy, ensuring the participation of families, businesses, and territories, and guaranteeing that its benefits reach those most in need.
Formal negotiations with the European Commission will now follow for the plan's formal approval and the commencement of its implementation, scheduled for the second half of 2027 with the launch of the first calls for proposals.
