Albufeira Photovoltaic Power Station is located in Évora district, at Borba municipality, and has a power of 21 MW, with an estimated annual average electricity production of 41,1 GWh, with the transformation of solar energy into electricity, made on photovoltaic panels.

The power station is made up of 90567 PV modules installed in 449 lines, 12 inverters / transformers and 1 Substation, from which comes a 30 kV aerial power line with 6,6 km extension that connects to Borba Substation.

Environmental studies included:

• Characterization of the reference situation in order to identify and limit archaeological and ecological sensitive areas, which could condition the establishment of the photovoltaic power station;
• Identification, forecast and assessment of potential impacts, positive or negative, arising from the implementation of the photovoltaic power station, immediate or long term, during the construction, exploration and decommissioning phases;
• Definition of a set of measures capable of minimizing the identified potential negative impacts.
