Qualified User Registration

Qualified Users are those Basic Service Users whose peak demand and voltage level requires and/or allows them to participate in the Wholesale Electricity Market (MEM) in Mexico.


To become a Qualified User, such users must obtain a certification from the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE). The Qualified User registration process takes about six to eight months.

1 Requirements to obtain the Qualified User Registration

To participate in the Wholesale Electricity Market, load centers must meet the following requirements:

  • Must have a maximum demand of at least 1 MW
  • It should generally operate at medium or high voltage.
  • If a load center does not reach the maximum demand threshold, load aggregation (several load centers) is possible. All load centers that wish to be aggregated must have a maximum demand of at least 25 kW and belong to the same economic interest group. This information is verified with legal documents (Articles of Incorporation and majority shareholders).
  • When a substation is shared, all load centers connected to the substation must migrate to the Wholesale Electricity Market at the same time and sign a supply contract with the same Qualified Supplier.


2 Number of Qualified Users

According to the list published by the CRE in April 2022, there are 661 Qualified Users in Mexico. The previous list published in 2020 showed 339; therefore, in recent years the number of Basic Service Users who have obtained their Qualified User registration has increased by 228, allowing them to participate in the Wholesale Electricity Market.
