The Government approved on 6 August the National Electricity Distribution Network Development and Investment Plan (PDIRD) submitted by E-REDES for the 2026-2030 period (PDIRD-E 2024), which foresees an investment of approximately €1.58 billion over that timeframe.

The plan comes at a time of increasing electrification of the economy and growing renewable energy generation, creating the conditions to accelerate the connection of new electricity demand, generation projects, energy storage facilities and self-consumption solutions. At the same time, it will help strengthen the quality and security of electricity supply across the country.

Key investment areas include the modernisation of the electricity infrastructure, the digitalisation of the network and the reinforcement of its resilience. Planned measures include upgrades to power lines and substations, as well as the development of technological solutions that will enable more efficient and intelligent management of the electricity distribution network.

For E-REDES, this approval represents an important step in ensuring that the distribution network continues to meet the future needs of customers, energy producers and communities, while supporting the energy transition and the sustainable development of the country.
