Electricity Generation and Export: Discussion
5:35 pm
Mr. Gabriel D'Arcy:
My colleague Mr. Reilly highlighted a project of scale in northern Portugal. As a template or model it is not a bad example to allow one to understand in reality what this could look like, the issues involved, how it was all put together, how it was delivered and the sustainable jobs coming well after the project itself was built which are associated with the manufacturing facilities, raw material supply chains and so forth. It has now generated a significant export industry for Portugal in this area.
