DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mtg8p2/portugal_energy) has announced the addition of the updated "Portugal Energy Report" report to their offering.

HIGHLIGHTS IN PORTUGAL

In December 2011, China Three Gorges was selected to acquire a 21.35% stake in EDP for $3.5bn (up to $10.4bn total investment). In March 2012, Galp Energia's shareholders agreed on the divesture process of Eni, which will sell its stake to Amorim Energia and on the stock exchange.

Meanwhile, Europe is struggling to recover after the economical and financial crisis. Compared to other regions, growth in energy production levels in the European Union was rather modest (20Mtoe). With the upturn in economic activities, consumption resumed, exceeding its pre-crisis levels by 4.5%. Inefficiency in the industrial sector caused an increase of 2.5% in the levels of energy consumption per unit of GDP (compared to -1.7% before the crisis).
