The CNMC has approved the remuneration for gas activities and access fees for the year 2025, applicable from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, corresponding to the gas year 2025.

The remuneration for regasification, transportation, and distribution activities has been reduced by 114.5 million compared to the previous gas year. This reduction is due to the decreasing path established for temporary remuneration in the application of specific Circulars and the impact of asset amortization for transportation and regasification activities.

Additionally, adjustments have been made to remunerations from previous years based on the latest available information, resulting in higher costs for 2022 and lower costs for 2023 and 2024. These deviations are attributed to lower-than-expected costs in gas acquisition and reduced remuneration due to market development in distribution as demand contracts.

The variations in access fees for different activities are a result of changes in remuneration for transportation, distribution, and regasification, as well as the forecasted demand scenario for the year. It is anticipated that natural gas demand will decrease compared to the 2024 closing forecast, primarily driven by lower expected demand from power generation plants and domestic consumers, partially offset by increased demand from industrial consumers.

The overall impact of the variations in access fees for regasification, transportation, and local networks results in an average billing reduction of 2.4%, although the impact varies by tariff group.
