The Regional Government of Madeira has updated the calculation formula for maximum retail prices of liquid fuels to mitigate the impact of the geopolitical crisis.
The Regional Government of Madeira, through Ordinance no. 166/2026, published in the Official Journal of the Autonomous Region of Madeira (JORAM), has made a significant change to the calculation formula for the maximum retail prices of unleaded petrol IO 95, road diesel, and colored and marked diesel.
This measure comes as a response to the extraordinary increase in fuel prices, driven by the geopolitical and military crisis in the Middle East, which has created uncertainty in oil markets and direct impacts on Madeiran families and businesses. The central objective is to mitigate the economic effects of this situation through a technical adjustment to the price structure.
The measure entered into force on the date of its publication, April 10, 2026, and was signed by the Regional Secretary for the Economy, José Manuel de Sousa Rodrigues, and the Regional Secretary for Finance, Duarte Nuno Nunes de Freitas.
Ordinance No. 421/2026 establishes the operating rules for the SIDRAM network, defines services available to producers, and sets the processing fees to be charged.
The Regional Secretariat for Economy and the Regional Secretariat for Finance have approved new maximum retail prices for gasoline and diesel, which come into effect at the end of the month.
A joint order approves the maximum public sale prices for gasoline and diesel, effective August 24.
