Gas system operators: new methodologies for calculating charges and remuneration from 1 October 2026

Royal Decree 924/2026 amends Royal Decree 1184/2020 to update the calculation methodologies for gas system charges and remuneration for basic underground storage. This revision responds to the start of a new regulatory period and aims to ensure the economic sustainability of the system, aligning with European network codes and CNMC criteria (preamble).

In 2 key points

  1. The new regulatory period begins on 1 October 2026, preamble (exposición de motivos)
  2. Methodologies, units, and deadlines similar to those of the CNMC will be maintained to reduce the administrative burden, preamble (exposición de motivos)

How it affects those involved

For underground storage owners and gas system users, the regulation establishes the remuneration and levy framework for the new regulatory period beginning 1 October 2026 (preamble). Sector agents must adapt to the revised methodologies, although the text notes that structures and procedures similar to those used by the CNMC will be maintained to minimise the administrative burden (preamble).
