The Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC), Spain's competition authority, has announced a proposed financial return rate of 6.46% for electricity networks. This marks a significant increase from the previous rate of 5.58% established during the last regulatory period.
This adjustment is part of CNMC's ongoing efforts to ensure effective competition in the energy sector, which is crucial for both consumers and businesses.
