Abstract

The article focuses on Portuguese utility EDP SA's outlook on how the surge in oil and gas prices due to the Middle East conflict is expected to increase demand for renewable energy. EDP, with over 90% of its generation from hydro, wind, and solar sources, views its energy diversification and long-term contracts as mitigating risks from supply-chain disruptions and geopolitical conflicts. The company controls EDP Renováveis, the world’s fourth-largest wind energy producer, which recently reported a 50% increase in recurring net income for 2025, driven by growth in Europe and the U.S. EDP sees significant opportunities to support rising electricity demand, particularly from data centers and AI applications, emphasizing the sector’s role in enhancing energy independence.
