Royal Decree-Law 8/2023 adopts measures to address the economic and social consequences derived from conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as to alleviate the effects of drought. Title III of the decree is dedicated to energy, establishing measures for the incorporation of renewable energy facilities into the electrical system. Access and connection to electricity transportation and distribution networks are also regulated, as well as self-consumption and decarbonization of the industry. Modifications are introduced to prevent speculative hoarding of network access permits, and guarantees and expiration periods are established for access and connection permits. Additionally, measures to flexibilize electricity supply contracts are maintained, and the support mechanism for electro-intensive industries is extended. The possibility of modifying the list of Just Transition Nodes is also contemplated, and the La Pereda 220 kV transportation network node is granted the status of Just Transition Node. An urgent review of legislation affecting the hydrocarbon sector is foreseen due to the transformation of the market in recent years. Royal Decree-Law 8/2023 establishes measures to address fraudulent practices in the liquid hydrocarbon sector and to comply with the renewable energy objectives established by the European Union Directive. Support measures to mitigate the effects of drought in sectors such as agriculture are also included. Modifications are introduced in the legislation of the electricity and water sectors to promote energy storage and ensure water supply to nuclear power plants. These measures will come into effect on different dates starting from December 29, 2023. [Extracted from the article]
