Canary Islands Introduce Temporary Fuel Price Discounts for Non-Capital Islands in 2025
Fuel Price Discounts in the Canary Islands for 2025
Overview
The Canary Islands government has approved a series of temporary discounts on fuel prices for 2025 to help residents cope with rising costs. These discounts, mandated by the regional budget law, will run from July 1 to September 30, 2025, and are targeted at non-capital islands, including El Hierro, La Gomera, Fuerteventura, and La Palma.
Discount Details
- The size of the discount varies by island:
- El Hierro: 0.25 euros off per liter
- La Gomera: 0.20 euros off per liter
- Fuerteventura: 0.05 euros off per liter
- La Palma: 0.20 euros off per liter, with ongoing assessments for future adjustments based on economic recovery and price trends.
"La Palma, which also qualifies for a subsidy, will see a reduction of 0.20 euros per liter, with ongoing assessments to determine future adjustments based on economic recovery and price trends."
Purpose and Impact
This measure aims to alleviate the financial burden of fuel prices amid inflationary pressures. It reflects the regional government's efforts to support more remote islands, where economic recovery still faces challenges, especially in La Palma.
The discounts are part of broader policies under the regional budget law, aligning with EU and national regulations, and show a proactive approach to social and economic resilience.
Residents filling up their tanks during these months will benefit from noticeable savings, making commuting and transportation more affordable during a period of economic adjustment.
