Not sure about the use of revindicada here. Could it be appealed or defended (right to)?
TIA

Orig
El “Projecte de Reial Decret pel qual es regula l’activitat de comercialització i les condicions de subministrament d’energia elèctrica”, en cas de publicar-se en la seva darrera versió, no només impossibilitaria la repetidament reivindicada figura de les xarxes tancades, sinó que també obligaria a les indústries existents a desagregar les seves infraestructures de subministrament elèctric (amb les conseqüents despeses d’adaptació associades) i a assumir un nou increment dels preus de l’electricitat.

Rough draft
The "Draft Royal Decree regulating the sale of electricity and conditions for supplying electricity", if published in its latest version would not only disallow much disputed closed power networks, but also force existing industries to break up their electrical infrastructure (with the resulting costs associated with renovation) and assume new increases in power prices.

long sought

It's that word again!

In this context I think it implies that these networks have been long desired (but it doesn't state by whom?)

BTW I would simply say ."...and raise their prices." at the end. What does "assume" do here in English? Isn't it redundant.

Thanks Bernie, that was my instinct as well.
