Spain has proposed to the European Commission (EC) the possibility of decoupling prices from the electricity market and of setting a limit price for natural gas in “exceptional” situations, in a document in which it takes a position before the Extraordinary Council of European Energy Ministers on Tuesday.
“In exceptional situations, the Member States must be authorized to adapt the formation of the price of electricity to their specific situations”, specifies the text, referring to the energy mix of each country, its resources and the level of interconnections.
