The energy sector in Mexico is experiencing significant changes under the current administration. The appointment of Luz Elena González, a close collaborator of Sheinbaum on financial and administrative issues in Mexico City, initially generated positive expectations. However, the reforms implemented by the government, which seem to regress in terms of oil and electricity, have raised concerns.
In this context, it is observed that Pemex represents a threat to public finances due to its current situation. The previous administration's strategy to 'rescue Pemex' has resulted in a high cost for the government without a significant increase in oil production. There is a need to adjust the company's strategy to focus on crude extraction and consider partnerships with the private sector.
Regarding the electricity sector, decisions to strengthen CFE have generated certain difficulties, negatively impacting foreign investment. There is a need to review current policies and analyze the possibility of closing some refineries to improve the financial and energy situation of the country.
Despite the challenges, the president mentions that there are opportunities in the energy sector, including the high demand for renewable energies such as solar and wind in Mexico. Emphasis is placed on the importance of attracting investments to the sector to drive its development and meet the country's energy needs.
In summary, the energy sector is positioned as one of the most important on the current political agenda. There is a need to implement significant changes to ensure efficiency and sustainability in the production and distribution of energy in Mexico.
