Portugal's installed PV capacity tops 188 MW

DGEG - Direcção-Geral de Energia e Geologia
Mainland Portugal had 188 MW of installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity at the end of August 2012, according to the latest statistics from Portuguese energy authority DGGE. The country added 11 MW of grid-connected capacity in August, bringing the total amount of new PV capacity added so far this year to 45.6 MW. At the beginning of the year, Portugal cancelled incentives for new PV projects over 250 kW in size. The moratorium does not affect microgeneration and minigeneration projects, and larger PV projects approved before the moratorium came into effect can still be built this year
