EDP builds on green growth plan
At its March 2024 Capital Markets Day, EDP detailed a 2023-2026 investment plan of around 25 billion euros, with roughly 85 percent allocated to renewables and grids, aiming to accelerate the shift to fully green generation by 2030. The group highlighted a target to add about 4.5 gigawatts of new renewable capacity per year, mainly in onshore wind, solar and selected offshore projects, while reiterating its goal of being coal-free in electricity generation. Reuters coverage of EDP's investment plan
Management confirmed at the event that EDP targets a fully green generation portfolio by 2030, meaning 100 percent of electricity output from renewable sources, supported by pipeline visibility and long-term power purchase agreements, and this aligns the utility with European peers' decarbonization pathways backed by EU policies. The company also framed an earnings growth ambition, pointing to an expected compound annual growth rate in net income supported by regulated networks and contracted renewables, while maintaining a disciplined balance sheet and a dividend payout policy that balances growth and shareholder returns.
Analyst views on EDP shares remain constructive
Analyst consensus compiled by MarketScreener in mid-2026 shows a majority of brokers rating EDP shares as Buy or Outperform, with an average 12-month price target that implies upside to the recent Lisbon quotation, while a smaller group advises Hold, reflecting regulatory and interest-rate sensitivities typical for utilities. Several houses, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs in past notes, have highlighted EDP's renewable arm EDP Renewables and offshore wind joint ventures as key drivers of long-term value creation compared with peers Iberdrola and Orsted. MarketScreener analyst consensus for EDP
Recent research updates have emphasized EDP's exposure to Iberian and Brazilian power markets, regulated network returns and the growing contribution from US and European renewables, including offshore wind auctions in the North Sea and Iberian offshore projects. Analysts also monitor leverage metrics, such as net debt to EBITDA, and capital recycling via asset rotations, where EDP sells stakes in operational renewable assets to infrastructure investors in order to fund new capacity while keeping its balance sheet metrics within stated targets.
