PRR ends with less concrete and more "business-friendly"

Jornal de Negócios31 August 2026 at 06:30

The Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) comes to an end five years after its start, this Monday. During this period, the plan underwent seven revisions that led to a significant reorientation of available funds.

The revisions resulted in an increase of funds destined to companies, to the detriment of other areas. Sustainable mobility, water management, and social responses were the sectors most affected by this redistribution of resources.

Costa Silva, in a statement about the plan's end, stated that "the plan was meant to be ambitious", suggesting that the initial objectives were not fully met. The official did not specify which expectations remained unfulfilled.

The Minister of Agriculture and the Sea, José Manuel Fernandes, visited on 28 August the modernization works of the Alvor Hydro-Agricultural Development, in the Alvor-Bravura Irrigation Perimeter, in the Algarve. With an investment of approximately 15 million euros secured by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), this is considered the largest irrigation modernization project currently underway in the Algarve region. The project aims to reduce water losses in the distribution system, potentially allowing savings of approximately 60% of water used, equivalent to approximately 19 million cubic meters per year and annual savings close to two million euros. The intervention includes the construction of a new reservoir, pumping station and filtration station, as well as the modernization of channels and the installation of photovoltaic panels for energy efficiency. A second phase estimated at 40 million euros is also planned.
