Energy efficiency

IKEA has announced that it will start selling solar panels in Portugal, in partnership with the Spanish company Contigo Energía, which will market and distribute the products.

More sustainable, more accessible and closer: this will be the focus of Ikea Portugal in 2021.

The sale of solar power systems for residential housing is increasing in Portugal. These are the indicators felt by Energie Portugal which, between January and May 2020, increased its volume of business in the domestic sector by 83%.

It's official. From January 1st, 2020, anyone in Portugal who produces solar energy will be able to share it with their neighbours. Until now, only individual self-consumption was allowed, but a new law allows consumers to group together and share the same unit of energy production.

Summer is here and it’s come in with a bang!

We all want to be warm this winter, but sometimes cranking up the thermostat can leave you with a hefty fuel bill at the end of the month.

Winter is coming and it's important that you know how to regulate the heat in your house, so you can enjoy a warm home when the temperatures in Portugal drop and make sure you’re not paying too much.

Making houses more efficient is one of the objectives of the Portuguese government through the "Casa Eficiente 2020" (Efficient House 2020) programme, which will receive funding of 200 million euro in the period 2018-2021 and aims to make Portuguese houses more welcoming and efficient.
