In 1980 gdp per capita of Portugal was lower then that of Ghana! They had massive economic growth since then and the country industrialized very late especially by European standards. That is why you see the electricity production more then double over that period. Hydro was basicly the big electricity source at the time, but there is limited potential. So thats why its share was going down.
