As part of the 30 for 2030 call the following activities are planned

A technical and financial review of the plans for four micro-hydro plants will encompass an evaluation of energy assessments, technical solutions, the preparation of technical tenders, and their compatibility with the water supply system. Furthermore, a technical and financial review of the rooftop photovoltaic plans in Porto Santo will involve assessing feasibility studies that have been completed and those that require review, along with a detailed engineering analysis that will also need to be reviewed.

In addition, a pre-feasibility and scenarios study for a reversible hydroelectric power station will investigate the optimal mix of photovoltaic production, wind production, and storage capacity of CHR-RJ, based on the levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) to meet targets of 80%, 90%, and 100% of electricity from renewable sources for a specific load scenario. For each storage scenario, this study will also evaluate the production and pumping power of CHR-RJ and assess the connection to the CHR-RJ network.
