SubscribeFollowing the public consultation process that concluded on November 25, 2025 (see post, Public Consultation ERSE: Electric mobility regulation), the Portuguese Energy Services Regulatory Authority (“ERSE”) has approved Regulation 7/2026 (the new Electric Mobility Regulation) and Regulation 8/2026, which amends several regulations, including: the Self-Consumption Regulation for the electricity sector; the Guidelines for Measuring, Reading and Making Available Data for the electricity sector; the Quality of Service Regulation for the electricity and gas sectors; and the Commercial Relations Regulation for the electricity and gas sectors.
This ERSE regulation aims to implement the provisions of the new Legal Regime on Electric Mobility, approved by Decree-Law 93/2025 of August 14 (see Guide to the New Electric Mobility Regime). This regime introduces a significant transformation of the previous legal regime, aligning the national framework with Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 (AFIR).
The (new) Electric Mobility Regulation governs the following:
- The activities of charging point operators and electric mobility service providers in light of the new legal regime on electric mobility.
- The regime applicable to charging points integrated into the electric mobility network management platform during the transitional regime, which will remain in force until December 31, 2026. This period will see the coexistence of the new model and the previous model, which was centered on the electric mobility network management entity (Mobi.E) and included the role of an electricity supplier for electric mobility (ESEM) that the new regime eliminates (see Point 5 - Entry into force and transition between regimes - in the Guide to the New Electric Mobility Regime).
