I'm pretty sure I still pay all the renewable energy I consume at home. I wish the bill was zero, that would be amazing.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that the article means it comes at zero cost to Portugal, as a country, thus not having to import it. It would be fairly misleading though.

Renewable is far from free
