Prefac fees in the new MX regulatory regime

This article implies that there will be no fees or security deposits to file under the new regime. If that is so, then being in the queue under the old regime will be more valuable as the pile-on continues behind.

Mexican solar sector criticizes new regulation for interconnection of power plants

28.01.2015: Mexico’s National Control Center (Centro Nacional de Control de Energía – CENACE), which manages the country’s electrical system, has issued a new regulation for the interconnection of new power plants, according to local newspaper La Razón. Under the new regulation, interconnection licenses will be granted only after CENACE will have completed a feasibility study of submitted projects, in order to evaluate if the grid will be able to accept the capacity that developers aim to install. CENACE will conduct the feasibility studies on a first-come-first-served basis. Local solar association AMEEF criticized the first-come-first-served principle claiming that it would lead to the saturation of CENACE’s capacity and, consequently, to a slow down in the development of solar power plants, if project proposals are submitted without a guarantee. AMEEF suggests that a guarantee of 300,000 MXN ($20,054) per MW should be mandatory for all project proposals. This guarantee could be recovered by developers only if they decide to cancel the projects six months after the feasibility study was started, the association said. © PHOTON
