On March 30, 2022, the Energy Regulatory Commission (the "Commission") published in the Official Gazette of the Federation the resolution number A/006/2022 issuing the "General Administrative Provisions that establish the terms to submit the information related to the corporate purpose, legal, technical and financial capacity, as well as the description of the project, and the application form for the Electricity Generation Permits" (the "General Provisions"), which repeals the previous regulations regarding the requirements for obtaining electricity generation permits issued on April 8, 2015 under the resolution number RES/182/2015.

As provided under the repealed regulations, the General Provisions set forth the requirements to apply for an electricity generation permit before the Commission. However, they include far stricter requirements than the previous regulations.

In addition, they incorporate the procedure that the Commission must follow to evaluate the granting of electricity generation permits (replicating what the Regulations of the Electricity Industry Law provides in this regard) and sets forth a new chapter regarding additional obligations that must be complied with by holders of electricity generation permits.
