Electric generators in non-peninsular territories: lower heating values set for 2025

The Directorate General for Energy Policy and Mines has approved the lower heating values (LHV) for coal, fuel oil, diesel oil, and gas oil for 2025 (Second). These values shall apply to generation groups with an additional remuneration regime in non-peninsular territories for the calculation of their fuel-related remuneration (Art. 40.5 RD 738/2015). For settlement purposes, the LHV calculation will be performed monthly as the weighted average of the actual values obtained from the analysis of each consumed batch (Order TED/1315/2022).

In 3 key points

  1. LHV values for the 2025 financial year have been set for coal, fuel oil, diesel oil, and gas oil (Second). (Segundo)
  2. The resolution enters into force on the day following its publication in the BOE (Third). (Tercero)
  3. Power plant owners must declare the LHV of each fuel batch on a monthly basis (Order TED/1315/2022). (Orden TED/1315/2022)

How it affects those involved

For owners of power plants in the Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla under an additional remuneration regime, these technical values determine the amount of fuel remuneration they will receive in 2025. Generators must declare the LHV value of each fuel batch monthly to the settlement body, assuming the risk of random inspections to verify the accuracy of the declared data (Order TED/1315/2022).
