The sanctioned companies are Repsol Comercial de Productos Petrolíferos, Solred and Campsa Estaciones de Servicio.

The case dates back to late 2022, when, in response to several industry associations raising concerns about anti-competitive practices in the Spanish energy sector, the CNMC carried out inspections at the headquarters of several hydrocarbon operators.

In December 2023, the watchdog confirmed it was investigating Repsol and its subsidiaries for possible competition abuses in the Spanish wholesale hydrocarbon distribution market.
