The group announced its operational data for the first nine months of the year in a statement to the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários (CMVM), revealing that total production reached 48 TWh (Terawatt-hours) through September, with hydropower production in the Iberian Peninsula reaching 9.0 TWh, 1.9 TWh above expectations.
In a separate communication to the CMVM, EDPR reported that its production increased by 14% to 30 TWh.
Despite a first quarter slightly below average, EDP now states that the first nine months of 2025 were characterized by “strong hydropower resources,” 38% above the historical average (33% in the same period last year).
At the beginning of the year, reservoir levels stood at approximately 60% and increased to 68% by the end of September 2025, exceeding the average of 52% for the period.
“This increase reflects the high levels of rainfall recorded during the first months of the year, presenting comfortable reservoir levels to support the drier summer months,” the company notes.
Wind and solar production increased by 14% to 31 TWh (including distributed solar in Europe and Brazil), “supported by strong growth in solar installed capacity over the last 12 months, primarily in North America,” the company states, adding that wind production decreased by 1% compared to the same period last year, mainly due to below-average wind resources in Europe, “partially offset by improved wind conditions in South America.”
In the past 12 months, EDP added +3.4 GW of total capacity (+3.3 GW at EDP Renováveis and the remaining from distributed solar in Europe and Brazil).
The number of EDP electricity customers in the liberalized market in Portugal reached 3.429 million in September 2025, stabilizing compared to June, as a result of “the competitiveness of EDP’s commercial offers, increasing adherence to differentiated services, and maintaining high levels of quality in customer service,” the company explains.
In the Iberian Peninsula, distributed electricity increased by 3% year-on-year and customers connected to the grid grew by 1% year-on-year.
In Brazil, distributed electricity rose by 1% compared to the same period last year, reflecting increased electricity demand registered in the first nine months of 2024, supported by a 2% increase in the number of customers connected to the grid compared to the same period last year.
Average electricity prices in Iberia increased by 24% year-on-year (from 52 Euro/MWh to 65 Euro/MWh), and thermal production rose by 3.7 TWh year-on-year.
