EC.Tariff Analyzer — LATAM Commercial Electricity Rate Intelligence

EC.Tariff Analyzer is a free, no-account-required tool that gives energy managers, CFOs, and procurement teams verified electricity tariff intelligence for Peru, Mexico, and Panama. All rates are sourced directly from official regulator publications: OSINERGMIN (Peru), CRE/CFE (Mexico), and ASEP (Panama). Coverage is actively expanding to additional LATAM markets.

What EC.Tariff Analyzer covers

  • Verified rate database per country: Peru's 7 OSINERGMIN opciones tarifarias (BT5B through MT2); Mexico's CRE-set categories (PDBT, GDBT, GDMTO, GDMTH and more) across all 17 CFE distribution divisions; Panama's ASEP-regulated categories across ENSA, EDEMET, and EDECHI distributors.
  • Multi-year historical rate trends: Mexico back to 2017, Peru and Panama from 2021 — with annotated regulatory event timelines explaining each rate movement.
  • Time-of-use (TOU) schedule grids: Per-plan peak/off-peak windows. Peru's two-period HP/HFP system (18–23h Mon–Sat), Mexico's three-period GDMTH TOU, and Panama's distributor-specific schedules.
  • Demand-charge analysis: Tier structures, demand formulas, and ratchet mechanics — including the 12-month rolling ratchet in Mexico and the 6-month averaging ratchet in Peru — with category-eligibility thresholds.
  • Reactive-power penalty modeling: Country-specific reactive-energy rules rendered as live calculations (Peru OSINERGMIN Res. 206-2013 at 0.96 PF threshold; Mexico and Panama equivalents).
  • Bill anatomy breakdown: Component-level decomposition (energy charges, demand charges, fixed/access fees, taxes, reactive-power penalties) showing what each element drives in a typical commercial bill.
  • Cost simulator: Enter monthly consumption (kWh), peak demand (kW), and operating-hours profile — with presets for residential, commercial, and industrial loads — to estimate monthly bill under each applicable tariff plan.
  • Tariff Matcher: Guided plan-matching tool that ranks tariff plans by weighted score across cost efficiency, TOU exposure, and demand-charge sensitivity for a given load profile.
  • Cross-market benchmarking: Side-by-side KPIs (average commercial rate, peak rate, year-on-year change) across all three countries, with an interactive LATAM map.
  • CO₂ and energy mix: Grid emission intensity (kg CO₂/kWh), percentage renewable generation, and fuel-type breakdown per country.
  • USD currency conversion: Toggle between local currency (PEN, MXN, USD) and USD equivalents, backed by a monthly forex series going back to 2021.

Update cadence

Peru and Mexico rates are updated monthly following each official pliego publication. Panama rates update bi-annually per the ASEP four-year concession cycle. The EC.DATA platform checks for new regulatory publications every week.

From rate confusion to confident tariff decisions

Most commercial and industrial customers in Latin America are not on their optimal utility tariff — because the right tariff depends on a load profile that only becomes visible with high-resolution data, and because LATAM utility rate books update faster than most procurement teams can track. OSINERGMIN publishes new pliegos monthly, CRE/CFE adjusts fuel-cost riders on the same cycle, and ASEP's bi-annual rate orders carry concession-level rule changes that can shift demand charges significantly.

EC.Tariff Analyzer closes that gap without requiring a consultant or a data file upload. Enter your facility's consumption and peak demand, choose a load profile preset, and the cost simulator estimates your monthly bill across every regulated plan available in your country. The Tariff Matcher then ranks those plans by a weighted score that reflects your actual exposure to TOU differentials and demand ratchets — giving procurement teams a defensible, data-backed recommendation before a tariff-category change or contract negotiation.
