Portugal fact sheet
Telecommunications
Portugal was the first country in Europe to have a fully digital telecommunication network and was also an early adopter of fiber optics.
Power & Natural Gas Grids
Close to 50% of the electricity consumed in Portugal is produced from renewable sources, mostly wind and water. The power grid has evolved to cope with dispersed production and is connected to the European grid through Spain.
Natural gas is received through pipelines from North Africa, through Spain, and by boat. Pipelines secure the supply to all major industrial areas and cities.
Motorways
The total length of motorways increased 6 times in the period 1990-2010, with massive public investments in infrastructure resulting in 0.26 Km of motorway per 1,000 habitants, double the EU average. For private operators this results in effective motorway connections within the country and to Europe.
Railway
With Lisbon and Porto connected at top speeds of 200 km/h, the railway network covers most large cities and is connected to Spain. A high speed connection Lisbon to Porto, and to Spain is one of the top priorities for public investment in the coming years.

Setúbal, Lisboa, Aveiro, Figueira da Foz , Leixões and Viana do Castelo are the main sea ports, providing international connections to main sea routes.
