Decree-Law 15/2022 of 14 January (“Decree-Law 15/2022”) has been published to establish the new rules for the organisation and operation of the National Electricity System (“SEN”). In doing so, it incorporates into Portuguese law (i) Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council, on common rules for the internal market for electricity, and (ii) Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources.
The approval of this Decree-Law follows the public consultation on the draft decree-law that took place last November, and PLMJ’s Energy and Natural Resources team published an Informative Note about this.
