Wholesale price formation (POE) and dollar settlement
- Energy, water and telecommunications
- The power market and its tariffs
- not audited
It is a cost-based market: the AMM dispatches hour by hour on declared Variable Generation Cost (CVG), and the spot price — the Energy Opportunity Price (POE) — is set by the marginal unit. Alongside it run the term market (freely negotiated contracts), the opportunity market, capacity deviations, ancillary services (RRO, RRa, RF), the Regional Electricity Market (MER) and transactions with Mexico. Every wholesale market transaction settles in US$. Guatemala is a net exporter to the MER: between January 2022 and March 2025 its injections were 37.43% of the regional total and its withdrawals 10.62%.
The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
