Communities and agents in the sector

produce grid development proposals, which

are sent to the Ministry and REE. In parallel,

the National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) produces report with recommendations on economic-financial sustainability.

4 Ministry forwards considerations received to REE, which analyses them and produces 'Development Proposal', which is sent to the Ministry.

Once the evaluation by the CNMC on

compliance with initial

economic-financial

sustainability criteria has

been received and

reviewed, the Ministry produces the 'Plan on

Development of the Electricity Transmission Grid',

which will include the Strategic Environmental

Declaration. During the public information
