Spain Competition Authority News: CNMC Gas Consultations, Merger Decisions, Enforcement Updates

The CNMC homepage aggregates recent competition authority activities including three public consultations on gas sector circulars (CIR/DE/001/25, CIR/DE/002/25, CIR/DE/003/25) with comment deadlines of April 27 and May 18, 2026. The page also summarizes enforcement decisions from April 20-21, 2026: closure of pricing and market dominance investigations against BP, Moeve, and Repsol without action; authorization of five concentration operations in March; and referral of Siemens Logistics/Vanderlande to the European Commission.

Stakeholders in the gas sector (distributors, transporters, and consumers of financial return rates) should note the two April 27 deadline for distribution and transport circulars, and the May 18 deadline for the TRF rate circular. Companies active in Spanish energy markets should monitor the ongoing liberalization study for public rail transport services.
