For users above 1 MW, moving off CFE basic supply to Suministro Calificado can lower energy cost. Whether it actually does depends on the whole cost of service, not the price per MWh. MEP helps you see the difference before you sign, with no supplier, no equipment, and no commission on the other side of the table.

Qualified supply is a real opportunity to lower and stabilize energy cost. It is also a multi-year commitment, and getting one cost down while the others climb is a common and expensive outcome. The price per MWh is not the answer.
Leaving basic supply unbundles a single CFE charge into energy, capacity and demand credits, TDU and transmission, penalties, power quality, and basis risk. Six components, each with its own behavior.
Whether the injection node aligns with your load node in the same grid system, SIN, BCA, or BCS, can determine whether a PPA works at all. Congestion between injection and load is a genuine risk inside many contracts.
Suppliers, brokers, and developers each arrive with a preferred answer and a placement fee behind it. MEP is compensated only by you, so remaining on basic supply is a valid recommendation when the evidence supports it.
From total-cost model through filings and first invoice. Every assumption is traceable and documented to withstand review by your finance department, your procurement committee, and external auditors.
Model the full cost under each option, check node alignment and basis risk, and run a contracting-split analysis with a defined CFE fallback. Weeks 1 to 3.
Qualified suppliers evaluated on total cost of service rather than headline rate, on identical terms. Weeks 3 to 6.
MEP represents you in negotiation with specialized Mexican energy-law counsel, reviews the PPA clause by clause, and coordinates signature with your legal team. Weeks 5 to 9.
Usuario Calificado registration with CENACE, interconnection and metering with CFE, and CNE filings, run in parallel and paced by the regulators. MEP then reconciles the first billing cycles against the contract.
MEP is compensated only by the client, with no supplier affiliation, placement fee, or referral fee. The recommendation is the same whether you sign a PPA, renegotiate, or stay on basic supply.

Site requirements, metering dependencies, and operating handoff
A battery and automotive components group ran a qualified supply RFP across 45 MW and approximately 305 GWh at 9 plants, with the baseline built from bills and interval data. Two further reference engagements: an advanced materials producer achieved 13% on a PPA review across 3.7 MW and 20.9 GWh at 5 sites, and a multi-site industrial user identified 15% on a savings benchmark across 6 MW and roughly 32 GWh at 3 sites.
Savings across MEP reference engagements range from 13% to 18%, at a typical billing-cycle load factor near 84%. Client names are withheld and verification contacts are available during qualified evaluation. Results vary by facility, and MEP does not guarantee savings. MEP does not sell electricity, equipment, or supplier contracts.
To begin, MEP needs your tariff classification, contracted demand, and the grid system for each load node. For the full analysis: demand history, load profile or interval data, and any existing contract, PPA, or proposal you want benchmarked, all requested after the first conversation under NDA.
Request the cost analysisThe useful first step is not another supplier quote. It is a total cost of service analysis of what you pay today and what each option would really cost. Request the assessment and MEP will show you where you actually stand. NDA signed first.
