At the end of November, capacity stood at 521 MW. Portugal 's DGEG ( Directorate General for Energy and Geology ) has approved 229 unsubsidised solar projects with a combined capacity of six MW and an aggregate investment of €206m ( $183m ). They are the latest in a series of unsubsidised schemes, which are created without direct public incentives, to be given the green light. The Iberian government's 10-year plan to overhaul and improve the national power network is currently under public consultation, and will see all energy projects, including renewables, relying on the spot markets to sell their power, a move the local energy sector has said is "unviable".
