On July 20, 2023, the Energy Regulatory Commission (“CRE”) published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (“DOF”), the Agreement of the Energy Regulatory Commission by which the Agreements “A/001/2021 by which the suspension of legal deadlines and terms is established in the Energy Regulatory Commission, as a measure to prevent and combat the spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19” and “A/004/2023 of the Energy Regulatory Commission by which the legal deadlines and terms are resumed in an orderly and staggered manner, which modifies the various A/001/2021 by which the suspension of legal deadlines and terms is established, as a measure to prevent and combat the spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19” (the “Agreement”).
This Agreement supersedes previous agreements relating to the suspension of legal deadlines and terms at the CRE due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the end of the health emergency, the CRE will now observe the legal deadlines and terms in accordance with the laws and regulations and will void the staggered reactivation of deadlines, as well as the procedures subject to obtaining folios.
Relevant Aspects
This Agreement supersedes the two previous agreements implemented by the CRE in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first agreement to be superseded is “A/001/2021,” which established the suspension of original legal deadlines and terms within the CRE. The second agreement to be superseded is “A/004/2023,” which modified the first agreement and provided for the orderly and staggered resumption of deadlines and terms with procedures subject to obtaining folios.
The World Health Organization declared the end of the international health emergency caused by COVID-19. Subsequently, the Federal Government published a decree declaring the end of the extraordinary action in general health matters. With the decrease in extraordinary activity worldwide and the situation under control in Mexico, the causes that required priority attention have disappeared.
As a result, the CRE has determined that the emergency situation that gave rise to the issuance of the aforementioned agreements has concluded. Accordingly, these agreements and all actions taken to comply with them are deemed unnecessary.
The CRE will now observe the legal deadlines and terms in accordance with the provisions established by law. This will prioritize the order of priority, serve the public interest and be implemented to the extent humanly possible.
This Agreement provides clarity and guidance for the future operations of the CRE in line with the new circumstances arising from the conclusion of the COVID-19 emergency situation.
