State Prepares Second Phase to Reach 20% of REN

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 08:43

The Portuguese State is preparing a second phase of investment in REN (Rede Elétrica Nacional) with the objective of reaching a 20% stake in the company. The government tasked Parpública, a public shareholding company, with carrying out this acquisition on the market.

The operation has already cost the State 389.8 million euros, having acquired 13.7% of REN's capital through this strategy to date. The investment made already allows for a significant position in the energy sector company.

Parpública was the entity responsible for executing the acquisition plan defined by the government, in an operation that aims to reinforce the State's presence in the capital of a company considered strategic for the national electricity sector.

Why this matters

This operation directly affects Portuguese consumers, as it involves the investment of public funds in critical energy infrastructure. The growing state control over REN may have implications for electricity prices and for energy supply security in the country.
