Flexible access permissions for electricity demand installations set

The CNMC establishes flexible access permissions for electricity demand installations connected to transport and distribution networks. This mode allows access when supply cannot be guaranteed throughout the year due to capacity limitations, provided the installation meets a minimum annual consumption hour threshold (art. 3 Circular 1/2024). The resolution details the specifications set out in the access and connection methodology of Circular 1/2024.

In 2 key points

  1. Flexible access is granted when supply cannot be guaranteed throughout the year due to capacity constraints (art. 3 Circular 1/2024). (art. 3 Circular 1/2024)
  2. Concession requires a capacity study confirming an expected annual consumption of at least a specified percentage of hours (art. 3 Circular 1/2024). (art. 3 Circular 1/2024)

How it affects those involved

For demand installations (industries, large consumers), this resolution enables access even when the network cannot support the usual firm power, facilitating connection under flexible conditions (art. 3 Circular 1/2024). Network operators (REE and distributors) must apply these technical specifications to manage network capacity. Access is conditional upon a capacity study confirming the installation will consume at least a specified percentage of hours annually.
