Spanish regulator and distributors near agreement on flexible electricity grid capacity sharing
By
Clara Pinar
Summary
The Spanish National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) and electricity distribution companies are nearing an agreement to increase grid capacity through flexible usage. Instead of expanding the physical network—which requires time, investment, and permits—the solution involves sharing existing capacity among large electricity consumers who would take turns using it at different times of the day. This approach will particularly benefit storage facilities and industrial installations. The sector has submitted joint comments on the regulator's proposed regulations establishing various types of connection permits that include disconnection periods.
