The National Electricity Regulatory Authority (ANRE) has approved the increase in the capacity of the national electrical grid for renewable energies, raising it to **9,338 MW for the period 2025-2029**. This decision is part of the strategy to accelerate the country’s energy transition.
The approval and publication of this capacity aim to **provide better visibility to sector stakeholders**, whether public or private, as well as to supervisory authorities, emphasizes a statement from ANRE following its Council meeting held on Friday.
With a **29% increase compared to the previous year**, this development reflects the dynamic growth of the national electricity market and the commitment to offer new investment and growth opportunities to operators.
This progress is the result of a **broad consultation** among stakeholders, allowing for the definition of a reception capacity that aligns with the potential of the transport and distribution networks.
The update also introduces a **new flexibility**, allowing for the bidirectional transfer of unused reception capacities between transport and distribution networks. This adaptation aims to **optimize the use of existing infrastructures** and strengthen the balance between electricity production and consumption.
