Resumo:On the occasion of the constitutional energy reform promulgated by the Executive in Mexico, on December 20, 2013 and by which a national electrical system is developed jointly promoted by the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and individuals, all under the direction of the State, in addition to the high complexity of this sector, together with the large number of agents involved and the profound impact it has on society and industry, it is of great interest to study how this development has occurred in Spain, since both Countries shared a similar initial situation, since they had a 100% public management and the reform has tried to open different subsectors within the electrical section, all of which are susceptible to function as a system of regulated markets in an area of competition. In addition to this and given the dramatic situation that is being experienced worldwide with the Covid-19 health crisis, leading to a global economic decline. The Spanish electricity market is no stranger to all this and is also being affected, due to disruptions and upheavals that are happening and that can alter the proper functioning of the system, or even cause a financial collapse in companies and the stock markets, in addition to widening, even more if possible, the already existing social fracture, by seriously making it difficult for many Spanish households to meet the expenses derived from the energy bill.
