NERC has established the total allowed income cap for ESO’s electricity and natural gas distribution services at EUR 433.0 million for 2026. It is 14.4% higher compared to the income level set for the year 2025 (EUR 378.7 million). The changes in income cap were driven by the following:
- higher investments in the network, as outlined in the 10-year Investment Plan, resulting in an increased additional tariff component, return on investment, and depreciation and amortisation;
- lower temporary regulatory differences, due to its higher return in 2025.
