On 21 February 2026, Decree-Law No. 21 of 20 February 2026 (the “Energy Bills Decree”) entered into force, introducing a number of measures aimed at reducing energy bill charges borne by final consumers, as well as supporting business competitiveness and promoting the decarbonization of the industrial sector.

The Energy Bills Decree represents a significant intervention in the current energy landscape, which is characterized by strong price volatility and increasing geopolitical tensions. However, some of the measures introduced have attracted a certain degree of attention and debate among operators active in the renewable energy generation market, in light of the potential effects they may have on the economic balance and development prospects of the sector.

Our Infrastructure, Energy and Ecological Transition Focus Team analyses in detail the main changes introduced by the Energy Bills Decree, explaining how the new measures work and their potential impact on operators active in the renewable electricity generation sector, in the document available here.
