Mexico reinstates conditions for Clean Energy Certificates (CELs)
This encourages investment in power generation plants through clean energy and achieves higher profitability in the commercialization of CELs.
The market rules in Mexico that allow the issuance of Clean Energy Certificates (CELs) exclusively to clean energy plants that have entered into operation as of August 11, 2014 and, exceptionally, to legacy power plants (centrales legadas) that have started operations before that date but that have carried out a project to increase their clean energy production have been reestablished. The above allows the commercialization of these CELs to be more profitable for their holders and reaffirms the main purpose of the creation of the CELs market in Mexico: to encourage investment in new generation plants through generating clean energy.
