The Regional Government of Madeira has updated Ordinance no. 25/2022 to adjust the fuel price calculation formula, aiming to mitigate the impact of the geopolitical crisis.
The Regional Government of Madeira has published Ordinance no. 140/2026, which introduces significant changes to the calculation formula for maximum retail prices of liquid fuels in the Autonomous Region. This measure comes as a response to the extraordinary increase in oil and derivative prices, resulting from geopolitical instability in the Middle East, which has had a direct economic and social impact on Madeiran families and businesses.
The main change, set out in Article 1 of the diploma, concerns Article 8 of Ordinance no. 25/2022. The new regime establishes that the adjustment factor to be considered in the calculation formula will now correspond to the differential between the average gasoline prices practiced in the mainland territory and the prices communicated weekly by the Directorate General for Energy and Geology to the European Commission.
This measure entered into force immediately on the day of its publication, March 27, 2026, with the objective of providing greater adaptation to market reality and protecting regional consumers in the face of high uncertainty in international markets.
An ordinance amends the budgetary allocations of a housing investment program, authorizing a maximum expenditure of 44.4 million euros for 2026.
Ordinance No. 400/2026 changes the unit rates of the Tax on Petroleum and Energy Products (ISP) for gasoline and diesel in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, coming into force on August 17.
Ordinance No. 399/2026 amends the budget for housing investments, allowing a maximum expenditure of 43.7 million euros for the 2026 fiscal year.
