Foley & Lardner México S.C.は、国際的な再生可能エネルギー発電会社であるクライアントの代理人として、メキシコ連邦裁判所において、メキシコにおける再生可能かつ効率的なコージェネレーション・レガシー・エネルギープロジェクトに対する託送料金の引き上げを求める行政命令に反対した。
On May 28, 2020, the Energy Regulatory Commission (Comisión Reguladora de Energía or CRE) issued an administrative resolution increasing the wheeling fees for renewable and efficient cogeneration projects in Mexico (the “Resolution”). More information regarding the wheeling fees’ substantial increase is available here.
The Resolution affected the owners of renewable and efficient cogeneration power projects that had executed interconnection agreements with the Federal Electricity Commission (Comisión Federal de Electricidad or CFE) prior to the 2013 Energy Reform and would have led to severalfold increases in wheeling fees for our client.
Foley obtained an injunction from the District Courts, preventing CFE from charging the client the new wheeling fees and on January 3, 2023, the District Court ruled in favor of our client. Following the District Court ruling, the Mexican government filed a remedy of appeal which was finally resolved on December 4, 2023, by the Circuit Courts confirming the District Court’s resolution in favor of our client.
As a result of this amparo resolution, our client will be exempt from paying the new wheeling fees imposed by the Mexican government on renewable and efficient cogeneration projects developed before the 2013 Energy Reform in Mexico. The client was represented by Mexico City of counsel David Berezowsky and associate Aldo Mendoza.
