As alteraƧƵes climĆ”ticas, que se tĆŖm acentuado nas Ćŗltimas dĆ©cadas um pouco por todo o planeta, tĆŖm conduzido a uma crescente preocupação e consciencialização para a urgĆŖncia ambiental, quer por parte do cidadĆ£o comum, mas tambĆ©m dos decisores polĆticos Ć escala internacional, que tĆŖm procurado promover a redução da emissĆ£o de gases com efeito de estufa e a utilização de fontes de energia renovĆ”veis.
A presente dissertação propƵe-se investigar a motivação do significativo investimento feito em Portugal na capacidade eólica instalada nos Ćŗltimos 15 anos, tornando o nosso paĆs num dos maiores produtores da Europa de energia elĆ©ctrica a partir da forƧa cinĆ©tica do vento.
Foram consideradas duas hipóteses explicativas, uma assente na existĆŖncia de uma possĆvel vantagem comparativa de Portugal no Ć¢mbito Europeu, relativamente ao recurso endógeno (vento), e uma segunda hipótese suportada na adopção, de forma estratĆ©gica, de polĆticas publicas de promoção e incentivo.
Os resultados obtidos evidenciam que Portugal nĆ£o dispƵe de condiƧƵes particularmente vantajosas para a instalação de turbinas eólicas para a produção de energia, sendo que a proliferação de parques eólicos no nosso paĆs resulta, no essencial, da estratĆ©gia polĆtica nacional para o sector energĆ©tico que, no quadro dos compromissos assumidos com a UniĆ£o Europeia, criou um ambiente empresarial favorĆ”vel ao investimento no sub-sector eólico em Portugal.
In the last decades, climate change effects have intensified around the planet, leading to a international public and political awareness towards environmental issues, contributing to the promotion of greenhouse gas emissions reduction and the use of renewable energy sources. The aim of the present thesis is to research the motivation of the significate investment made by Portugal, in the last decade and a half, in installed wind capacity, allowing it to become one of the main producers in Europe of electrical energy obtained by the kinetic energy of the wind. To this end, two explanatory hypotheses were formulated. The first based on the existence of a potential comparative advantage of Portugal, obtained by an endogenous resource (wind), relative to other European countries, and a second, supported on the strategic adoption of public policies aiming to promote the use of wind energy. The obtained results show that Portugal does not have particular advantageous conditions for the installation of wind turbines for electricity generation. Rather, the proliferation appearance of wind farms is, essentially, due to the national policy for the energy sector, which, within the commitments assumed with the European Union, created a favourable business environment for the wind energy sector.
