The Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC), Spain's competition authority, is currently analyzing the implications of transferring gas capacity contracts to companies that are entirely owned by the same corporate group. This review aims to ensure that such transfers do not harm competition in the gas market.

As part of its mandate, the CNMC promotes fair market practices and protects consumer interests. The authority is vigilant in monitoring market activities to prevent anti-competitive practices that could adversely affect consumers and businesses alike.

The CNMC's investigation will assess whether these contract transfers could lead to anti-competitive behavior, such as market manipulation or the creation of monopolistic conditions. The authority is committed to maintaining a competitive environment in the energy sector, which is crucial for consumer choice and fair pricing.
