Reversible Hydroelectric Scheme on the Mondego River: Girabolhos and Bogueira Power Plants (385 MW) in Portugal
Portugal
The reversible hydroelectric scheme on Portugal’s Mondego River, by ENDESA, comprises the construction of the Girabolhos and Bogueira reservoirs, with a total installed capacity of 385 MW. This reversible hydroelectric development features a main 355 MW power plant with Francis pump-turbines at the dam and a conventional 29.5 MW facility at the lower reservoir, maximizing water resource utilization and renewable energy generation.
