One of the goals of the Mexican Constitutional reforms opening both the oil and gas and electricity sectors to private investment is to make the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) an "empresa productiva del Estado" (a productive state-owned enterprise), standing side-by-side with private enterprise, and continuing to operate as a generator.

Notwithstanding the enactment of any Secondary Legislation by the Federal Congress – which is expected shortly – CFE will continue to be subject to procurement guidelines.

CFE continues to actively contract capacity in the midst of the energy reform, to satisfy projected demand, and install capacity in anticipation of a competitive electricity market. CFE is currently conducting, or expected to commence, bidding processes for the following power projects: (i) Topolobampo II, (ii) Topolobampo III, (iii) La Rumorosa I, II and III, (iv) Baja California II, (v) Noroeste, and (vi) Noreste (Escobedo).

Delaware Chancery Invalidates Buyer Termination And Orders Specific Performance Of Obligations To Seek Regulatory Clearance For Merger

A Delaware Court of Chancery decision examines whether an acquiror can terminate a $2.35 billion merger agreement when antitrust approval is delayed beyond the outside date. The case centers on whether the acquiror's abandonment of discussions with a competitor—which triggered an FTC investigation—constitutes "willful conduct" that prevents the buyer from walking away from the deal.
