Antitrust Alert \u2013 Power Generation, Commercialization and Supply of Electricity Market<\/strong><\/p>\n

On May 6th, 2021, the Mexican Antitrust Commission (Commission) reported in the Official Gazette the commencement of an investigation regarding potential vertical restraints in the market of power generation, commercialization, supply of electricity and associated products, as well as services and activities related to this market in Mexico.<\/p>\n

The Commission has stated that in order to support the recovery of the Mexican economy due to COVID-19, one of the sectors they will focus on is energy, which is consistent with the recently filed constitutional controversy against the Decree that reforms the Electricity Industry Law, which has generated uncertainty as to how the wholesale electricity market will operate.<\/p>\n

The investigation will take from 30 to 120 business days (with four possible extensions of the 120-day period).<\/p>\n

Fines can be up to 8% of each company’s income.<\/p>\n

Any interested party may file information or documents with the Commission, so if you require information or advice regarding this investigation, please contact our antitrust practice group.<\/p>\n
