President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico is poised to adjust energy policies to welcome private investment in sectors like natural gas infrastructure, clean hydrogen, renewable energy, and petrochemicals. This shift comes after President AMLO's protection of state entities like Pemex and CFE, reversing energy liberalization. Financial constraints necessitate a pivot towards private capital to sustain the energy sector. Energy scholar Adrian Duhalt highlights the need for Sheinbaum to address inefficiencies at Pemex through potential partnerships with private firms to boost the petrochemical industry. Challenges post-AMLO include upgrading Mexico's power system infrastructure to prevent blackouts and increasing power generation capacity. Private investment opportunities lie in petrochemicals, clean hydrogen, and renewables to diversify energy sources and reduce natural gas reliance. Enhanced Mexico-US energy relations are crucial, given Mexico's status as a significant US energy market. Careful energy market reforms are needed to ensure fair competition for private companies. The article emphasizes the importance of such reforms amidst the growing demand for clean energy and natural gas in Mexico's energy landscape.
