Synopsis


The partial analysis of the initiative to amend and add different dispositions to the electric industry law sent by the federal executive enables us to scope the possible and plausible impacts. Emphasizes the fact that substituting the economic dispatch for merit will imply the loss of competition in the electric industry, which will bring consequences over prices, environment, and Mexican’s health.

Concluding that the proposal is no more than nationalization in disguise since private sectors generating electricity with combined cycled technologies, wind power, and photovoltaic will have a scant probability of engaging in the electric market because, at the same time, Federal Electricity Commission uses its full installed capacity, which will lead them to their eventual bankruptcy.
