In 2013 Mexico undertook a historic energy reform to open its oil and power sectors to private participation through a model that has brought $200 billion in investment and the entrance of more than 70 companies from five continents. On December 1 Andrés Manuel López Obrador will assume the Mexican presidency with a new energy agenda. What are the opportunities for ongoing investment in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution? How can Mexico maintain its progress in expanding renewable energy sources? What will Pemex’s role be?
Join us for a conversation with high-level officials and experts to discuss the achievements, challenges, and path ahead for the energy sector in Mexico.
