The second floor of the Supreme Court has declared these markets that the plan for the electrical sector of the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador obstructs the free competence and benefits indefinitely to the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the main business state. This week, the Executive presents a preferred initiative to achieve a profound revision of the Mexican electric model and gives preference to CFEs over private power plants to subdue their production to the red. The Secretary of Government, Olga Sánchez Cordero, said that the Executive had “acted” on the sentence, but had defended the fund of energy policy. We are not referring to the private inversion, definitely not (…). On many topics, this Governor has reiterated what he called the State’s Rector’s, which is in the Constitution, ”he said.

The case was produced by the Federal Commission for Economic Competence (Cofece), the autonomous public body framed to guarantee free competition in the country, presenting a constitutional controversy against the Policy of Confidence, Security, Continuity and Quality in Quality , the lines that the Energy Secretariat presented in May passed to the sector. The decision, approved by a majority of four votes in favor and one against, declares unconstitutional parts of this document because of the principle of “economic waste”, established in the Energy Reform that the former Enrique Peña y Nieto impiet available to the power stations with a minor cost of production must be the first to supply electricity to the red.

The Court has decided that it is as if it had planted the Policy of Confidentiality by this Administration looking for a “preferential treat” to the CFE in detriment to its competitors, Signal Paolo Salerno, Specialist Advocate in the Electric Market Mayor. This predilection for the state-of-the-art enterprise also affects renewable energy plants, the majority in private maneuvers, for which the principle of energy transition prevalent in the city, Agre Salerno, is also violated.

Another problematic issue, with the exception of the magistrates, is that it is assumed that they are destined to focus on economic competence, which means an intervention in the faculties of the Cofece as an autonomous organism. “Obstaculate the completion of the constitutional finals that will be promoted to the Cofece”, he said in the sentence, “especially in that which concerns the Intermittent Leap Energies”.

El Gobierno de López Obrador justified that he needed more credible assurances to ensure the stability of the electrical system and argued that the interim character of the generational generation and solar extra costs, which he provoked the principals af. The representation of the European Union in Mexico expresses its “deep concern” over what private and governmental and non-governmental organizations, as a means of compromising the transition, are pushing for energy. Sanchez Cordero intended his jewelery to quit this impact: In many themes this Governor has echoed what he called the Rector of the State, which is in the Constitution ”.

“It’s a very important sentence about everything in the light of the initiative that is being presented to the electricity sector,” said Salerno. From the perspective of the Governor of López Obrador, in the exhibition of motives of his initiative, the current law has given “great privileges” to the private sector and has provoked a serious persecution of the CFE. “It is clear that the energetic policy that the Mexican government is designing is unconstitutional and is contrary to the principles of free competence because its finality is favored by a solo actor”, the specialist agrees.

The CFE’s rescheduling plan or the darling short sales with a regulatory mark ad hoc shock with a market designed to reward the economic and ambient efficiency between the participants, it is said, with two distinct visions to extend the economy: an active paper of the State against the free market. The reason is that the vigilante is inclined to compete with the most promising prices for consumers and a transition to renewables. The sentencing of the Supreme Court will only apply to the reclaimed parts of the Cofece, while in the Legislature a new reform is being discussed, which promises a power in the electricity sector of the country. Sanchez Cordero insisted on the difference between the invalidity agreement and the legislative initiative: “It is resolved on the constitutionality of an agreement, which is very different from a law. I believe that we have enough conventional and constitutional aids to advance ”.
