Mexican Energy Policy refers to the strategies and regulations established by the government of Mexico to manage and guide the country’s energy resources. It encompasses various aspects, including oil, natural gas, electricity, renewable energy, and energy efficiency. The policy aims to ensure energy security, promote sustainable development, attract investment in the energy sector, and address environmental concerns.
Historically, Mexico’s energy sector was characterized by significant state control, particularly through state-owned enterprises like Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) for oil and Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) for electricity. However, recent reforms have aimed to open the market to private investment, increase competition, and diversify energy sources, particularly emphasizing renewable energy initiatives.
The Mexican Energy Policy is influenced by international commitments, domestic needs, economic considerations, and social factors, particularly in relation to energy access and affordability for its population. It also is shaped by geopolitical dynamics, especially regarding energy relations with the United States and other countries.
