CNMC Allows Ouigo to Provide High-Speed Services in Spain

04.06.2024 | 🇪🇸 Spanish competition authority

The CNMC's analysis concludes that Ouigo's new high-speed services between Cuenca and Madrid, Albacete, and Valencia do not disrupt the economic balance of the public service contract between Renfe and the Ministry of Transport.


The CNMC has determined that Ouigo's introduction of new high-speed services in Spain will not impact the economic equilibrium of the existing public service contract between Renfe and the Ministry of Transport. The analysis found that Ouigo's services are competitive for occasional travelers but less attractive for frequent travelers compared to Renfe's Avant services.

While Ouigo's services may affect a limited number of Renfe's Avant services, the overall financial impact on the public service contract is minimal, falling below the 1% threshold set by the CNMC's methodology. The CNMC recommends that public services focus on offering multi-trip passes for frequent travelers, as commercial services are more cost-effective and provide sufficient frequency for occasional travelers.
