Summit: Special authorization for Spain and Portugal to manage their own electricity prices

EU leaders have given Spain and Portugal a special mandate to manage their own electricity prices, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today.

The President of the Commission said that this was possible because these two countries have a relatively high share of renewable energy sources in their energy mix and very few connections to other parts of the EU network.

“We have agreed on a special treatment that is possible for the Iberian Peninsula so that the Iberian Peninsula can deal with this very specific situation in which it is located and manage the prices of electricity,” von der Leyen told a news conference after. the meeting of EU leaders in Brussels.
