Energy operators must repeal old rules and update regulations within three months

Royal Decree 88/2026 repeals several previous regulations on electricity supply and marketing, including Royal Decree 1074/2015 and others, and amends Article 23 bis of Royal Decree 1183/2020. It adds an additional provision to Royal Decree 647/2020 and partially transposes Directive (EU) 2019/944. The changes aim to modernise the energy regulatory framework, requiring operators to update their processes within three months of entry into force (arts. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
