Right now it's a calm night, so ~25% comes from hydro storage[0], 22% from hydro, 18% imported from Spain [1], and 16% from gas.

I find these "x % is now renewable" useless without looking at actual numbers, and how they work not just in the best of cases.

[0] Didn't know Portugal had this much hydro storage

[1] Spain right now is 37% gas, 23% nuclear, 17% solar, 12% wind
