Cani Fernández

Cani Fernández is the President of the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC), Spain's National Markets and Competition Commission. As president, she oversees the regulatory body responsible for ensuring competition and efficient markets in various sectors, including energy. She is newsworthy because the CNMC recently approved a proposal regarding the methodology for remuneration of natural gas distribution networks for the 2027-2032 regulatory period. This proposal, launched for public consultation, sets the framework for how gas distribution companies will be compensated. Additionally, while not directly quoted, her position as head of the CNMC places her at the center of discussions regarding regulatory oversight and energy security, as evidenced by recent parliamentary debates on energy policy following a major blackout. Her leadership is crucial in shaping energy market regulations and ensuring fair competition within Spain.
