Abstract: Although the Portuguese electricity market was fully liberalized in 2006 and Iberian Electricity Market operators were set up some years ago, almost all electricity generated in Portugal benefits from a State guaranteed price, independent of market behavior. This applies not only to producers using renewable energy sources and cogeneration under feed-in tariffs, but also to all conventional power plants that undersigned a Power Purchase Agreement in the 1990s.
