Following the announcement by the Ministry of Energy (“SENER” per its acronym in Spanish) on May 11, 2026 regarding three mechanisms to facilitate investment in the energy sector, on May 15, 2026, the “Request for Proposals for Strategic Electric Power Generation and Storage Projects, in line with binding planning” (the “RfP”) was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation.

On May 14, 2026, the Supreme Court (“SCJN”) (Amparo en Revisión 551/2024) held that a retail store commercializing menstrual hygiene products lacks standing to challenge, by means of an amparo proceeding, the constitutionality of Article 2-A of the Value Added Tax Law (Ley del Impuesto al Valor Agregado, “LIVA”). Said provision establishes that the sale of menstrual cups, sanitary pads, and tampons for menstrual hygiene products is subject to a 0% rate for value added tax (“VAT”) purposes, while excluding other menstrual hygiene products from such treatment.

On May 11, 2026, the Ministry of Energy ("SENER" per its acronym in Spanish) published the "Second Request for Proposals for the priority handling of requests for power generation permits and Interconnection to the National Electric System, aligned with Binding Planning" (the "Second RfP"). This Second RfP continues the process initiated with the first request for proposals issued on October 17, 2025 (the "First RfP"), which resulted in the granting of 18 power generation permits by the National Energy Commission ("CNE").
