Published

<p>This regulations establish a comprehensive statutory framework governing Mexico’s electricity sector, affirming the state’s sovereign authority over strategic activities including transmission, distribution, and systemic planning; while delineating permissible private participation in non-exclusive domains. Core objectives encompass preserving national energy security and self-sufficiency, ensuring the efficiency, quality, continuity, accessibility, reliability, and sustainability of the national grid, and upholding the state’s constitutional obligation to provide electricity at the lowest possible cost to the populace. The framework further mandates universal service obligations, including non-discriminatory grid access, equitable supply provision, and adherence to social and developmental imperatives, all underpinned by principles of public utility and national strategic interest in the context of the energy transition.Explicit provisions advance climate change mitigation and sustainable transition, binding commitments to reduce contaminant emissions, achieve sectoral decarbonisation, and fulfil international environmental obligations. The regulations stipulate the integration of clean energy sources, alongside a just and orderly transition toward decarbonised infrastructure, with explicit mandates for climate risk considerations within national energy planning. These include requirements for emissions abatement aligned with global accords, alongside the state’s duty to factor climate change mitigation and adaptation criteria into all binding sectoral development strategies, thereby embedding ecological responsibility within the foundational governance of the electricity system.</p>
