Repsol Project Alba industrial development in Sines

Overview

Repsol has obtained the industrial exploitation licenses for its Project Alba in Sines, Portugal. The project involves an investment of approximately 820 million euros to construct two new factories capable of producing 600,000 tonnes of recyclable polymers annually. The facilities are expected to begin operations by the end of 2026.

While the project is noted for driving national growth and the energy transition, local officials have expressed concerns regarding the impact on the municipality. Mayor Álvaro Beijinha highlighted that a 12% population increase between 2021 and 2025 has strained local infrastructure, including housing, schools, healthcare, and security services. Additionally, the Mayor noted that despite large-scale industrial presence, local tax receipts have remained low.
