Briefings
The construction of the Pisão Dam in Portugal is scheduled to extend until 2030 following judicial suspensions, but the funding model remains unchanged at 222.2 million euros. The project, originally part of the PRR, switched to the Sustainable 2030 framework due to European deadline constraints. A 2025 administrative court decision on the Environmental Impact Assessment (DIA) halted progress, and judicial processes were returned to Castelo Branco for administrative corrections. The dam covers 10,000 hectares, submerging the village of Pisão, and aims to provide public water supply, create irrigation zones, and generate renewable energy.

Context
