1. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

1.1RESULTS FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF 2024

In the first 6 months of 2024, net income reached 48.6 million euros, a 14.4 million euros decrease (-22.9%) over the same period of the previous year. Net income decreased reflecting mainly the i) decrease of 7.1 million euros in the Group EBITDA (- 7.8 million euros in EBIT), and ii) the decrease of 11.0 million euros in financial results (-65.7%), partially offset by the decrease of 4.4 million euros in taxes.

Similarly to the previous years, the results for 2024 reflect the continuation of the Extraordinary Levy on the Energy Sector (28.3 million euros in 2024 and 28.1 million euros in 20231 ).

Investment was 135.4 million euros, a 21.1% y.o.y increase (+23.6 million euros) and transfers to RAB decreased 3.2 million euros (-9.6%) to 29.9 million euros. Average RAB decreased by 55.8 million euros (-1.6%), to 3,477.4 million euros.

The average cost of debt was 2.8%, an increase of 0.4 p.p. over the previous year, and net debt reached 2,679.8 million euros, a 12.0% increase (+286.1 million euros) over the same period of the previous year driven by the evolution of REN Trading's tariff deviations. Excluding the effect of tariff deviations, net debt increased 3.8%.

Operational results – EBITDA

Domestic Power Transmission and Distribution Business

EBITDA for the domestic business reached 245.9 million euros in the first 6 months of 2024, a 1.0% (-2.4 million euros) decrease over the same period of the previous year.

11) EBITDA (1+2+3+4+5+6-7-8-9-10) 245.9 248.3 -1.0%

The decrease in EBITDA resulted mainly from:

  • The decrease of 2.9 million euros in RAB remuneration5 (-7.3%) arising mostly from:
    • o Decrease of 2.7 million euros in the remuneration of natural gas transmission regulated assets reflecting the decrease in the rate of return from 5.7% in June 2023 to 5.3% in June 2024 – as a result of the negative evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills, as well the reduction of 37.2 million euros (-4.4%) in natural gas transmission average RAB; and
    • o Decrease of 0.3 million euros in the remuneration of natural gas distribution regulated assets reflecting (i) the decrease in the rate of return from 5.9% in June 2023 to 5.7% in June 2024 – as a result of the negative evolution of the yields of the Portuguese Republic 10Y Treasury Bills, partially offset by the increase of 5.2 million euros in natural gas distribution average RAB (+1.1%).
  • The decrease in Revenues from Opex of 11.6 million euros (-14.8%), reflecting the new regulatory period in gas and the decrease of 2.0 million euros in pass-through costs, of which -6.5 million euros in Cross Boarder cost and + 3.5 million euros in costs with Turbogás resulting from the end of PPA at end of March 2024.

4 Includes training and seminars costs

5 Excludes Electricity Transmission activity (TEE). Includes TEE assets accepted by the regulator as extra Totex model

These effects were partially offset by:

  • Revenues recognition of 3.2 million euros arising from bilateral agreements to connect solar plants to the grid. In 2024, REN started to recognize in EBITDA the revenues related to Solar Agreements. REN has currently two waves of solar agreements underway. The revenues of these contracts will be reflected in two different captions: (i) Revenues with "Subsidies amortizations" (neutral impact as they are fully offset by asset depreciation), and ii) "Solar agreements revenues" with positive impact in net income;
  • The increase in Electricity Transmission Activity regulated revenues (+1.4 million euros), which is remunerated through a Totex model since 2022, reflecting the increase in the volume drivers, unitary prices evolution and annual change inflation; and
  • The decrease of 1.0 million euros in Opex, of which -2.0 million euros in pass-through costs (costs not controllable by REN and fully recovered in the regulated tariff). Excluding pass-through costs, the Group domestic Core Opex increased 0.9 million euros.

With respect to domestic business, it is also important to note that the natural gas distribution business contributed with EBITDA of 24.9 million euros

International Business

The EBITDA for international businesses reached 11.9 million euros in the first 6 months of 2024, a 4.7 million euros (-28.5%) decrease over the same period of the previous year, resulting mainly from:

  • The decrease of 1.0 million euros (-14.4%) in the recognized income from the 42.5% stake held by REN in the Chilean company Electrogas;
  • The decrease of 3.8 million euros (-38.4%) in EBITDA of Transemel an electrical power transmission company in Chile. It should be noted that, in 2023, the Chilean regulator published the decree with the Valuation of Transmission Systems for the period from 2020 to 2023, with Transemel recording in that same year an income of 4.0 million Euros referring to the adjustment of revenues from 2020 to 2022.

Net income

Overall, the Group's net income for the first 6 months of 2024 reached 48.6 million euros, a 14.4 million euros y.o.y. decrease (-22.9%).

This decrease reflect mostly the following effects:

  • i) decrease of 7.1 million euros in the Group EBITDA (-7.8 million euros in EBIT), impacted by the decrease of 2.4 million euros in the domestic business (-3.4 million euros in EBIT) and -4.7 million euros in the contribution of international businesses (-4.4 million euros in EBIT);
  • ii) decrease of 11.0 million euros in financial results (-65.7%) reflecting the increase in the average cost of debt from 2.4% to 2.8% and unfavourable evolution of exchange rate differences. Net debt reached 2,679.8 million euros, a 12.0% increase (+286.1 million euros), over the same period of the previous year driven by the evolution of REN Trading's tariff deviations. Excluding the effect of tariff deviations, net debt increased 3.8%.

1.2. Approval of quarterly consolidated financial statements

These interim consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors at a meeting held on 25 July 2024. The Board of Directors believes that the consolidated financial statements fairly present the financial position of the companies included in the consolidation, the consolidated results of their operations, their consolidated comprehensive income, the consolidated changes in their equity and their consolidated cash flows in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards for interim financial statements as endorsed by the European Union (IAS 34).

2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting Standards, therefore do not include all information required for annual financial statements so should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements issued for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The Board of Directors evaluated the Group's going concern capability, based on all the relevant information, facts and circumstances, of financial, commercial and other natures, including subsequent events occurred after the financial statement report date.

In result of this assessment, the Board concludes that the Group has the adequate resources to proceed its activity, not intending to cease its operations in short term, and therefore considers adequate the use of a going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros – teuros, rounded to the thousand closer.

On the present date, and taking into account the above and Note 5 - Main Estimates and Judgments, disclosed in the annex to the 2023 consolidated financial statements, the Group does not foresee any changes in the most relevant estimates, in the case of Provisions, Assumptions Actuarial, Tangible and Intangible Fixed Assets, Impairment, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Impairment of Goodwill and Tariff deviations.

There were no significant changes in the long-term expectation of recovery of the Group's investments and financial holdings.

3 MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements were prepared for interim financial reporting purposes (IAS 34), on a going concern basis from the books and accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation, maintained in accordance with the accounting standards in force in Portugal, adjusted in the consolidation process so that the financial statements are presented in accordance with interim Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union in force for the years beginning as from 1 January 2024.

Such Financial Reporting standards include International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), International Accounting Standards (IAS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee ("IASC") and respective IFRIC and SIC interpretations, issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee ("IFRIC") and Standard Interpretation Committee ("SIC"), that have been endorsed by the European Union. The standards and interpretations are hereinafter referred generically to as IFRS.

The accounting policies used to prepare these consolidated financial statements are consistent, in all material respects, with the policies used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2023, except for the adoption of new effective standards for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.

The Group has not previously adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that is not yet in force.

The estimates and assumptions with impact on REN's consolidated financial statements are continuously evaluated, representing at each reporting date the Board of Directors best estimates, considering historical performance, past accumulated experience and expectations about future events that, under the circumstances, are believed to be reasonable. There were no changes in the main estimates and judgments presented in relation to the six-month period ended on 30 June 2023 and compared to the year ended on 31 December 2023.

Adoption of new standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been endorsed by the European Union with mandatory application in effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024:

Amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases: Lease Liability in a sale and leaseback

These amendments included requirements for seller-lessees to measure the lease liability in a sale and leaseback transaction, in order to not recognizing any gain or loss on the right of use retained. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current

These amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current (due or potentially due to be settled within one year) or non-current, and include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. These amendments clarify, not change, existing requirements, and so are not expected to affect companies' financial statements significantly. However, they could result in companies reclassifying some liabilities from current to non-current, and vice versa. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier financing agreements

These amendments require companies to make additional disclosures about their supplier financing arrangements. The future adoption of this standard is not expected to have significant impacts on REN's consolidated financial statements.

Standards and interpretations, amended or revised, not endorsed by the European Union

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions, with mandatory application in future years, have not, until the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, been endorsed by the European Union:

IFRS 18 -
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
01/jan/27 The objective of IFRS 18 is to set out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in
general purpose financial statements (financial statements) to help ensure they provide relevant information
that faithfully represents an entity's assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses.
IFRS 19 -
Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures
01/jan/27 The objective of IFRS 19 is to allow those in charge of the preparation of IFRS financial information without
public exposure, but which are group subsidiaries reporting in IFRS and with listed securities, a reduction of
the disclosures made while still complying with IFRS.

These standards have not yet been endorsed by the European Union and, as such, have not been applied by the Group for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024.

4 SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group is organised in two main business segments, Electricity and Gas and one secondary segment. The electricity segment includes the transmission of electricity in very high voltage, overall management of the public electricity system and management of the power purchase agreements (PPA) not terminated on 30 June 2007, the pilot zone for electricity production from sea wave and the transmission and transportation of electricity in Chile. The gas segment includes high pressure gas transmission and overall management of the national natural gas supply system, as well as the operation of regasification at the LNG Terminal, the distribution of natural gas in low and medium pressure and the underground storage of natural gas.

Although the activities of the LNG Terminal and underground storage can be seen as separate from the transport of gas and overall management of the national natural gas supply system, since these operations provide services to the same users and they are complementary services, it was considered that it is subject to the same risks and benefits.

The telecommunications segment is presented separately although it does not qualify for disclosure.

The results by segment for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024 were as follows:

Loans obtained, as referred to in Note 3.6 of the annual consolidated financial statements, for the year ended 31 December 2023, are measured upon initial recognition at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost, except those for which a derivative has been contracted fair value coverage (Note 12), in which case they are revalued at fair value. Nevertheless, REN proceeds to the disclosure of the fair value of the caption Borrowings, based on a set of relevant observable data, which fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of borrowings and derivatives are calculated by the method of discounted cash flows, using the curve of interest rate on the date of the statement of financial position in accordance with the characteristics of each loan.

The range of market rates used to calculate the fair value ranges between 3.6560% and 2.8077% (maturities of seven days and twelve years, respectively).

The fair value of borrowings contracted by the Group at 30 June 2024 is 2,634,310 thousand euros (at 31 December 2023 was 2,716,843 thousand euros), of which 555,072 thousand euros are partially recorded at amortized cost, and contains an element recorded at fair value resulting from movements in the interest rate (at 31 December 2023 the amount recorded was 553,727 thousand euros).

Estimated fair value – assets and liabilities measured at fair value

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value at 30 June 2024 in accordance with the following hierarchy levels of fair value:

  • Level 1: the fair value of financial instruments is based on net market prices as of the date of the statement of financial position;
  • Level 2: the fair value of financial instruments is not determined based on active market quotes but using valuation models. The main inputs of the models are observable in the market, in relation to derivative finantial instruments;
  • Level 3: the fair value of financial instruments is not determined based on active market quotes, but using valuation models, whose main inputs are not observable in the market.

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2024, there was no transfer of financial assets and liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels.

The valuation of the derivative financial instruments portfolio is based on fair value valuations performed by specialized external entities.

The amount recognized in this item refers to ten interest rate swap contracts negotiated by REN SGPS to hedge the interest rate fluctuation risk.

Counterparties to derivative contracts are international financial institutions with a solid credit rating and first-rate national institutions.

For the purpose of the effectiveness tests of the designated hedging relationships, REN applies the "Dollar offset method" and the linear regression statistical method as methodologies. The effectiveness ratio is given by comparing the changes in fair value of the hedging instrument with the changes in fair value of the hedged item (or hypothetical derivative instrument simulating the conditions of the hedged item).

For the purpose of calculating ineffectiveness, the total change in fair value of the hedging instruments is considered.

The disclosed amount includes receivable or payable accrued interest, at 30 June 2024 related to these financial instruments, in the net amount payable of 483 thousand euros (at 31 December 2023 it was 1,591 thousand euros payable).

Cash Flow Hedge - Interest Rate Swaps

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of the market interest rate index (Euribor) on a portion of future debt interest payments through the designation of interest rate swaps, in order to transform floating rate payments into fixed rate payments.

As of 30 June 2024, the Group has a total of six cash flow hedging interest rate swap contracts for a total amount of 900,000 thousand euros (as of 31 December 2023 it was 900,000 thousand euros). The hedged risk is the variable rate index associated to the interest payments of the loans. Credit risk is not being hedged.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps, at 30 June 2024, is positive 51,683 thousand euros (at 31 December 2023 it was positive 53,492 thousand euros).

Four of the above mentioned contracts, in a total amount of 600,000 thousand euros (at 31 December 2023 it was 600,000 thousand euros), are designated to hedge an aggregated exposure composed by the net effect of floating rate debt and interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments.

The amount recognised in reserves, relating to the cash flow hedges referred to above, was 45,834 thousand euros (at 31 December 2023 it was 49,268 thousand euros).

The hedged instruments of cash flow hedging relationships present the following conditions:

Cash Flow Hedge – Interest and Exchange Rate Swaps

The Group hedged the exchange rate risk of the 10,000 million yen bond issued through a cross currency swap with the main characteristics similar to the bond with regard to exchange rate risk. Credit risk is not hedged.

As at 30 June 2024, the Group no longer holds active cross currency and interest rate swap (at 31 December 2023 the fair value was negative 8,601 thousand Euros). Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument are also being recognized in equity hedging reserves, with exception of:

  • the offsetting of the exchange rate effect of the spot revaluation of the hedged item (bond issue in yen) at each reference date, arising from the hedging of the exchange rate risk 8 ; and
  • the ineffective component of the hedge arising from the accounting designation made (REN contracted a trading derivative to economically hedge this ineffectiveness - see Trading Derivative) 9 . This inefficiency is caused by the change in the interest profile of the hedging instrument, which pays a variable rate in the period from 2019 to 2024.

8 The currency effect of the underlying (loan),as at 30 June 2024, was favorable in the amount of 5,067 thousand euros, and was offset, in the same amount, by the unfavourable effect of the hedging instrument in the income statement for the year (as of 30 June 2023 was favorable in 7,464 thousand euros).

9 The ineffective cash flow hedge component of the exchange rate risk recognised in the income statement, was negative 2,151 thousand Euros, further increased by the effect of the trading derivative negotiated in negative 842 thousand Euros (as of 30 June 2023 it was positive 1,533 thousand Euros against negative 293 thousand Euros of the effect of the trading derivative). Therefore, the net effect on the income statement for the period ended on 30 June 2024 amounted to negative 2,993 thousand Euros (as of 30 June 2023 was positive 1,240 thousand Euros).

Fair Value Hedge

The Group hedges the interest rate risk associated with the fluctuation of market interest rate index (Euribor) on the fair value of interest payments on fixed-rate debt by negotiating interest rate swaps where it pays a variable rate and receives a fixed rate in order to convert fixed-rate debt payments into variable-rate payments

As of 30 June 2024, the Group has a total of four fair value hedging derivative contracts amounting to 600,000 thousand euros (as of 31 December 2023 it was 600,000 thousand euros). The hedged risk corresponds to the change in fair value of debt issues attributable to movements in the market interest rate index (Euribor). Credit risk is not being hedged. As of 30 June 2024, the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments was negative 51,295 thousand euros (as of 31 December 2023 it was negative 52,006 thousand euros).

Changes in the fair value of hedged items arising from interest rate risk are recognised in the income statement in order to offset changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument, which are also recognised in the income statement.

As of 30 June 2024, the change in fair value of the debt related to interest rate risk recognized in the income statement was negative 1,345 thousand euros (at 30 June 2023 it was negative 5,480 thousand euros), resulting in an ineffective component, after considering the effect of the hedged items in the income statement, of approximately negative 97 thousand euros (at 30 June 2023 it was negative 489 thousand euros). The ineffectiveness recognized is related to the effect of the fixed leg spread of the hedging instruments that is not reflected in the hedged item.

Trading Derivative

The Group negotiated an interest rate swap, with a starting date in 2019 and maturity in 2024, which pays fixed rate and receives variable rate. This instrument, although not designated as hedge accounting considering IFRS 9 criteria, is currently hedging the effect of the ineffectiveness of the cash flow hedge of the interest and exchange rate risks of the bond issue in Yen, relative to the fluctuation of interest rates for the hedging period (see Cash Flow Hedge – Interest and Exchange Rate Swaps).

As at 30 June 2024, the Group no longer holds active trading swaps. The changes in the fair value of the trading derivative are recorded directly in the income statement. The impact in the income statement, as of 30 June 2024, related to the effect of the fair value of the trading derivative was negative 842 thousand euros (as of 30 June 2023 it was 293 thousand euros negative).

Bank loans are mostly composed of loans contracted with the European Investment Bank (EIB), which at 30 June 2024, the borrowings from EIB amounted to 428,381 thousand euros (at 31 December 2023 it was 453,300 thousand euros).

The Group also has credit lines negotiated and not used in the amount of 80,000 thousand euros, maturing up to one year, which are automatically renewable periodically (if they are not resigned in the contractually specified period for that purpose).

As a result of the fair value hedge related to the debt emission in the amount of 600,000 thousand euros, fair value changes concerning interest rate risk were recognized directly in statement of profit and loss, in an amount of 1,345 thousand euros (negative) (at 30 June 2023 was 5,480 thousand euros (negative)).

The Company's financial liabilities have the following main types of covenants: Cross default, Pari Passu, Negative Pledge, Leverage ratios and Gearing.

As of 30 June 2024, the group complies with all the covenants to which it is contractually bound.

REN and its subsidiaries are a part of certain financing agreements and debt issues, which include change in control clauses typical in this type of transactions (including, though not so expressed, changes in control as a result of takeover bids) and essential to the realization of such transactions on the appropriate market context. In any case, the practical application of these clauses is limited to considering the legal ownership of shares of REN restrictions. Following the legal standards and usual market practices, contractual terms and free market competition, establish that neither REN nor its counterparts in borrowing agreements are authorized to disclose further information regarding the content of these financing agreements.

The effect of the foreign exchange rate exposure was not considered as this exposure is totally covered by hedge derivate in place.

27 EXTRAORDINARY CONTRIBUTION OVER THE ENERGY SECTOR

Law no. 83-C/2013 of 31 December introduced a specific contribution of entities operating in the energy sector, called Extraordinary Contribution over the Energy Sector ("ECES"), that was extended by Law no. 82-B / 2014, of 31 December, Law no. 7-A / 2016, of 30 March, Law no. 114/2017, of 29 December, Law no. 71/2018, 31 December, Law no. 2/2020, of 31 March, Law no. 75-B/2020, of 31 December, Law no. 99/2021, of 31 December 2021, Law n.º 24-D/2022 of 30 December 2022 and Law no. 82/2023, of 29 December 2023.

The regime introduced is aimed at financing mechanisms that promote systemic sustainability of the sector through the setting up of a fund with the main objective of reducing the tariff deficit. The entities subject to this regime are, among others, entities that are dealers of transport activities or distribution of electricity and natural gas.

The calculation of the ECES is levied on the value of the assets with reference to the first day of the financial year 2024 (1 January 2024) that include cumulatively, the tangible fixed assets, intangible assets, with the exception of industrial property elements, and financial assets related with regulated activities. In the case of regulated activities, the ECES is levied on the value of regulated assets (i.e. the amount recognized by ERSE in the calculation of the allowed income with reference to 1 January 2024) if it is greater than the value of those assets, over which the rate of 0.85% is applied.

To the extent that it is a present obligation whose facts originating already occurred, with timing and amounts certain or ascertainable, REN recorded liabilities in the amount of 28,516 thousand euros (Note 19) (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 was 28,101 thousand euros) against a cost in the statement of profit and loss.

In the six-month period ending on 30 June 2024, the ECES item in the income statement, in the amount of 28,310 thousand euros (28,101 thousand euros on 30 June 2023), includes the amount of 206 thousand euros (positive), regarding to the regularization of ECES from previous years.

28 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share were calculated as follows:

Jun 2024 Jun 2023
Consolidated net profit used to calculate earnings per share (1) 48,597 63,031

30 CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

30.1. Contingent liabilities

Tejo Energia - Produção e Distribuição de Energia Eléctrica, SA ("Tejo Energia") and Turbogás – Produtora Energética S.A. ("Turbogás") have announced to REN - Rede Eléctrica Nacional, SA ("REN Eléctrica") and REN Trading SA ("REN Trading") its intention to renegotiate the Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), in order to reflect in the amounts payable to this producer the costs, which in its opinion would be due, incurred with (i) financing of the social tariff, (ii) with the tax on petroleum products and energy and with the rate of carbon, and (iii) for Turbogás the costs incurred with the financing of ECES.

According to the PPA, Tejo Energia and Turbogás act as producers and sellers and REN Trading as purchaser of the energy produced in power plants. REN Eléctrica is jointly and severally liable with REN Trading, regarding the execution of the PPA with Tejo Energia and Turbogás. According to the information received, the total costs incurred by these companies until 30 June 2024 amounts to, approximately, 121.000 thousand euros.

REN Trading and REN Elétrica consider that, with the existing legal framework, this possibility depends on the recognition that the associated charges can be considered as general costs of the national electricity system, the only way to guarantee the economic neutrality of REN Trading's contractual position.

All of these disputes were brought by Tejo Energia and Turbogás and contested by REN Eléctrica and REN Trading, and the outcome is pending resolution.

The beneficiaries of the transitional price stabilization regime are legally constituted legal persons, consumers of high, medium and low pressure gas at delivery points with annual consumption greater than 10,000 m3, with the exception of the entities referred to in number 2 of article 2.th.

The discount is applied directly by the suppliers in the month following the billing of the respective consumption, once the invoice has been paid by the customer, and the discount must be expressly identified on the invoice in which it is reflected.

10 Entity related to the Administrator José Luís Arnaut. During 2024, the contract for the provision of legal advisory services in the area of law and public procurement, approved by the board of directors of the company REN Serviços, SA and awarded to the law firm CMS Rui Pena and Arnaut, an entity related to the Director José Luís Arnaut, remained in force.

It is REN Gasodutos' responsibility to transfer the funds provided by the Portuguese State for the purposes of this decree-law, and such amounts cannot be used for other purposes. The amount transferred by the Government is deposited in a dedicated bank account, with accounting separation in relation to other activities carried out by the Company.
