The government of Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico is preparing to carry out a restructuring of the oil company Pemex, aiming to improve its efficiency. It seeks to guarantee the integrity, technical and managerial competencies of all the company's personnel, led by Víctor Rodríguez Padilla as CEO.
During her inauguration speech, Sheinbaum emphasized the importance of the energy transition and the efficient use of resources, marking these aspects as pillars of her policy. In the face of current challenges and the attention of major global capitals, the need to leverage "nearshoring" as a key tool for the country in the short term is highlighted.
The National Energy Plan, which will be presented shortly by Energy Secretary Luz Elena González, becomes crucial in the current scenario. This plan aims to address questions about how to supply energy inputs in a context of accelerated demand growth, both industrially and in electromobility. A limit on hydrocarbon production is expected during the six-year term, thus ensuring a stable supply of raw materials for petroleum derivatives.
In addition to the renewal of energy infrastructure, the plan includes investment programs aimed at modernizing and expanding the electrical distribution network, a critical aspect that has been postponed for several periods. Rating agencies and international organizations are closely watching this planning, especially due to the expected participation of the business sector, which will be articulated in joint projects aligned with government decisions.
Ultimately, the National Energy Plan emerges as the necessary guide for Mexico in its quest to consolidate energy sovereignty and move toward a sustainable future in this fundamental sector.
