Summary

In this special program, hosts and guests José María Lujambio, Sofía Tamayo, and Paolo Salerno discuss the judicialization of Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law (LIE) reform, published on March 9, 2021. They explain the main provisions of the reform, including prioritizing CFE generation in dispatch, changing clean energy certificate rules, making auctions optional, and ordering the revocation of certain permits and review of contracts. The conversation focuses on the legal challenges: around 250-300 amparo lawsuits were filed by affected companies and NGOs, leading to provisional and definitive suspensions with general effects (erga omnes) granted by district judges. These suspensions were later revoked by collegiate courts on July 1, 2021. The experts analyze the legal concepts of auto-applicative and hetero-applicative laws, the distinction between the amparo trial and the suspension, and the procedural steps. They emphasize that the revocation of suspensions does not decide the merits of the cases, and the legal battle is long-term. The discussion also touches on potential future amparos against implementing regulations and the broader implications for competition and the environment.
