Biography

He became prominent in the 1980s in the field of environmentalism[3].

He was elected by the Social Democratic Party (PSD), in the Setúbal constituency, as a member of Parliament in the 1985–1897 and 1987–1991 legislatures, having been Secretary of State for the Environment in 1983–1984 and as Secretary of State for Fisheries in 1985.[4][1]

He was a member of the European Parliament, elected by the PPD, during the legislative periods of 1987–1989, 1989–1994, and 1994–1999. He notably worked on the Committee on the Environment, Public Health, and Consumer Protection.[5]

He was awarded the Order of Prince Henry Third Class (1989).[6]

Since the 2000s, he has been involved as a businessman and manager in several wind projects in Portugal, and heads the venture capital fund NovEnergia. Pimenta has made it a point to defend wind energy from the attacks of those who point to the extra cost paid to these producers as the heaviest part in the final price of electricity.[7]
