In 2021 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering (ICECCME). Mauritius, Mauritius: IEEE, 2021. ISBN 978-1-6654-1262-9. Pp. 1-6978-1-6654-1262-9978-1-6654-2943-6http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/14020This article provides an economic and energy feasibility study for the implementation of renewable photovoltaic energy sources, in the municipality of Barcarena, in order to sustain electric energy consumption, taking into account technological advances, the expected population increase and the energy potential of the study area. The consumption of electricity of the municipality under study is analysed, as well as their distribution among the various types of existing electricity production. The economic and energy influence of this implementation is analysed through different case studies, in order to meet the targets defined by the Oeiras Council with regard to the Sustainable Energy for Oeiras Action Plan (PAESO).engEconomic viabilityEnergy viabilityRenewable energyPhotovoltaic solar energySustainabilityconference object10.1109/ICECCME52200.2021.9590860
