RODRIGUEZ PADILLA, Víctor. The electricity industry in Mexico: tension between the state and the market. Prob. Des [online]. 2016, vol.47, n.185, pp.33-55. ISSN 0301-7036.
This paper analyzes State powers over the Mexican electricity industry. The 2013-2014 energy reform replaced the hybrid single buyer model–flawed as a result of excessive government intervention–with a wholesale electricity market that will gradually be extended to all users. To maximize competition, the State has retained ample and numerous powers to intervene through the Ministry of Energy. The transition from a public monopoly to an open market entails significant risks, which Mexico aims to minimize with strong political authority and a relatively controlled market.
