ENTAMA 2026: a program to boost local development in Iberia
2026 marks a key milestone in the evolution of ENTAMA.
After several years of growth and learning, the programme has established itself as an Iberian initiative, fully integrated into EDP’s Community Engagement strategy in Spain and Portugal, with the aim of continuing to promote entrepreneurial projects with socio-economic impact and job creation potential in the territories where the company operates.
In 2026, ENTAMA is strengthening its commitment to local communities, supporting entrepreneurs and SMEs in the region in the development of initiatives that contribute to a fair, inclusive energy transition that generates opportunities.
A programme open all year round, with specific calls to action by region
As a notable new feature, ENTAMA will remain open throughout the year, organised through specific calls to action by geographical area, aligned with EDP’s priority areas of action and its energy projects.

ENTAMA 2025: a key year for joint growth
The year 2025 marked a turning point for ENTAMA, as it became a programme developed in a coordinated manner in Spain and Portugal.
During May and June 2025, a first call for action was held in Asturias, Cádiz and Gerês, marking the 1st edition of ENTAMA in Portugal, together with the 6th edition in Spain.
This first phase resulted in 17 new ENTAMA projects (7 in Asturias, 4 in Cádiz and 6 in Gerês), after receiving more than 40 applications.
In September 2025, ENTAMA launched a second joint call for action in Spain and Portugal, expanding its reach to new areas.
This second phase closed with 48 applications under evaluation, analysed by a multidisciplinary jury from EDP, which resulted in 16 new ENTAMA projects: 4 projects selected in Burgos, 4 in Cantabria, 2 in Lugo (the first time that projects have been registered and approved in this province) and 6 projects in municipalities in the Portuguese Douro region.
Thanks to all these additions in 2025, ENTAMA has reached a total of 89 supported projects, with a cumulative investment of €875,000 and an estimated impact of 400 jobs created (aggregated on an annual basis).
