What’s Required
Key compliance-facing requirements under the LTE include:
Policy-aligned clean energy and efficiency obligations: establishes legal duties and mechanisms to promote clean energy and reduce emissions intensity through sector planning and obligations.
Support for Clean Energy Certificates (CELs): LTE interacts with CEL obligations and targets that apply to obligated load-serving entities and market participants under implementing rules.
Planning and reporting: sector planning tools and targets influence permitting, procurement, and compliance strategies, particularly for generators and suppliers.
Important Deadlines
Law publication: LTE text is provided via the Chamber of Deputies legislative library (law date commonly referenced as 2015 in official compilations).
Target and obligation timelines: specific compliance milestones for obligated clean energy percentages are set in related instruments and implementing rules (including CEL lineamientos and SENER/CRE provisions).
Current Status
In force, though energy sector legal architecture has evolved and is supplemented by later legislation affecting planning and transition governance.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Non-compliance consequences generally arise under implementing rules and market oversight, including:
administrative sanctions by regulators for failure to acquire required CELs where applicable,
enforcement actions affecting market participation status.
Examples of Known Violations
Common failure modes in clean certificate regimes include:
under-procurement of certificates due to poor forecasting of obligated load,
failure to reconcile certificate holdings by compliance deadlines,
contractual gaps where counterparties fail to deliver certificates as promised,
registry account administration errors.
