Recently, the Ministry of Energy announced the draft rules of wholesale electricity market, seeking
for a clear and transparent framework for operation of the sector and the promotion of
competitiveness, said César Hernández Ochoa, Undersecretary of Electricity. The bases are in a
consultation process on the Federal Regulatory Improvement Commission (COFEMER) and it is
expected that the first market trials will take place in September/October; the market should be
operating by January 2016.
With the wholesale electricity market in operation, great opportunities are expected to come for
both domestic and foreign companies to invest in Mexico and compete in generation and
transmission projects. Pedro Joaquín Coldwell, Minister of Energy recently announced an estimated
investment of US$23.7 millions in the construction of new power plants, of which around US$3,300
m will come from private independent producers. In addition, Mr. Joaquín Coldwell anticipated a
total investment of US$4,450 m in the modernization and expansion of the transmission network.
