In June 2025, the Government published Royal Decree-Law 7/2025, of June 24, with urgent measures to strengthen the electricity system. Although it was ultimately not validated by the Congress of Deputies, this process brought to light something that no company can ignore: energy management is no longer just a matter of costs, but of competitiveness and survival.
The debate generated by the RDL highlighted the urgency of having clear strategies that allow companies to anticipate regulatory changes, optimize their consumption, and increase their resilience against possible interruptions in the power supply.
What was the aim of RDL 7/2025?
RDL 7/2025 was designed to strengthen the stability of the electricity system and promote a more efficient use of energy. Its main objectives included:
- Improving the flexibility and stability of the electricity grid.
- Promoting self-consumption and storage projects, especially in the industrial and commercial sectors.
- Encouraging energy efficiency and the electrification of production processes.
Although these measures were not implemented, the public discussion it generated highlights a dynamic regulatory environment. Companies that anticipate these changes have a clear competitive advantage: they are prepared for almost any future energy scenario.
How Galician companies can respond
In this context, several strategies can make a real difference:
- Comprehensive energy diagnosis: thoroughly analyzing consumption, demand patterns, and associated costs allows identifying savings opportunities and strengthening resilience against supply interruptions.
- Optimization of contracts and supplies: adjusting electricity contracts and reviewing tariffs according to each company’s consumption profile can significantly reduce costs and increase flexibility in the face of regulatory changes.
- Access to current aid and financing: although RDL 7/2025 was not validated, there are still numerous grants and subsidies for energy efficiency, self-consumption, and sustainability projects. Having specialized advice makes the process easier and ensures that the company takes full advantage of all available opportunities.
