If there is any at all, it can be used for cold starting other types of power plants. Are there any oil-fired power plants there?
As far as I know they were all abolished a long time ago as well as our coal mines. We had nuclear power and cheap Russian LNG! When we are going to lose the grid, there´s no chance of starting the power plants as quick as it would be necessary. We´re dependent on the highly integrated European grid. A grid failure in Portugal can in the worst case shut down power in all of Europe. France´s nuclear power plants (they rely strongly on them) are old and due to replacement at least maintenance. Germany in her green hubris purchased from them and the dirty coal power plants in Poland and the Czech Republic when there was no sun nor wind. Additionally we literally don´t have gas stations with emergency generators. Even the police are dependent on commercial gas stations. Concerning our "military" I don´t know.
