Norbolsa | Last week, the final proposal for calculating the permitted return for electricity and gas networks was announced. This represents a permitted return of 6.58% (pre-tax, nominal) for the period 2026-31. Although this is an increase on the initial proposal of 6.46%, it falls short of market expectations, which were closer to 7%. The decision is not final, but it is considered highly unlikely that there will be any further significant change in the TRF before the final publication.
