Mexico's National Energy Control Center, or Centro de Control de Energía (CENACE), is the non-centralized government body that operates the country's Wholesale Power Market, or Mercado Mercado Eléctrico Mayorista (MEM). As such, it manages the power market's transmission and distribution activities.

For that purpose, in December 2016 CENACE determined the assets that comprise the National Transmission Network and General Distribution Networks for the power market:

National Transmission Network

• Elements of high-voltage networks with a nominal voltage higher or equal to 69 kilovolts (kV)
