Abbreviated form of legal source
RD 1955/2000
Procedure
The TSO (Red Eléctrica de España) together with MITECO and the Autonomous Communities (and the participation of DSOs) shall prepare proposals for grid development to account for forecasts associated with the installations of new elements such as lines, substations, transformers, among others (articles 8 to 16, RD 1955/2000).
When the connection requires, for example, a new substation of the transmission or distribution network or the possible reinforcement of the existing or planned line, the necessary investment will be borne by the promoter or promoters of the connection. If the new installations developed are used by another consumer or generator, the new user shall also contribute to the investments made by the first user, for the proportional use of the installations´ capacity. The rest of the reinforcements associated with both grid development and any necessary switchgear replacement shall be included in the planning process (article 32, RD 1955/2000).
