The Wheeling Service Agreement for electricity from renewable energy sources establishes the basis, procedures, terms of reference and conditions that must be applied for the wheeling of electricity produced by renewable energy sources, from the interconnection point of the generator with the national grid to the load points of the self-supplier. This regulation applies to self-suppliers of electricity produced from renewable energy sources, whose generation facilities are located away from the premises of the self-supplier where the electricity is consumed. For this regulation to be in effect, the self-supplier must previously sign an interconnection contract with the national electric utility CFE (the Federal Commission of Electricity). This regulation establishes a fee for service, according to the type of interconnection contract between the self-supplier and the utility.
