Mexico: SENER advances the transition of legacy self-supply projects into the new electricity market through an expedited migration regime and revises transmission charges applicable to LSPEE permit holders
Mexico’s Ministry of Energy (SENER) has issued new regulations aimed at facilitating the voluntary migration of self-supply (autoabastecimiento) and cogeneration permits originally granted under the former Public Electricity Service Law (LSPEE), together with the related contractual arrangements and associated load centers, into the legal and commercial structures established under the Electricity Sector Law (LSE).
On June 18, 2026, SENER published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) the following instruments relating to projects and permits issued under the LSPEE framework:
- The Guidelines for the voluntary and expedited migration of self-supply and cogeneration projects to the regulatory structures established under the Electricity Sector Law; and
- The Resolution of the National Energy Commission establishing the methodology for calculating the transmission service charge applicable to permit holders operating generation plants under LSPEE permits and benefiting from interconnection agreements and transmission service arrangements executed pursuant to the former legal regime.
In this publication, we analyze the guidelines and methodologies set forth in this document issued by SENER.
