On October 24, 2025, the Ministry of Energy (“SENER”, per its acronym in Spanish) issued a resolution modifying the deadlines set forth in the calendar of the “Request for proposals for the Priority Handling of Applications for Electric Generation Permits and Interconnection to the National Electric System, aligned with Binding Planning” (the “RfP”), which was originally published on October 17 in the Federal Official Gazette.
This amendment aims to encourage broader participation from private parties in the granting of power generation permits by the National Energy Commission (“CNE”, per its acronym in Spanish) for the development of power plants that help meet power demand and support the efficient and reliable operation of the National Electric System.
