"This is a very important project in terms of resilience, macroeconomics and national competitiveness, because it prevents that the country (Portugal) is subject to the whims of the global energy markets which, in turn, are subject to political issues and wars in various regions. These are factors that, naturally, Portugal cannot control and, consequently, suffers the consequences."
"...we did this to maximize resilience – so many things can happen, such as floods, fires, and other events. This way, our grid is completely protected and insulated from extreme phenomena/events. As well as to minimize all environmental impacts associated with a surface grid. In short, more euros, more safety, less CO2."
