WHY ATTEND
The Mexican Energy Reform has opened opportunities in the areas of Electricity Generation – which will open to private investments.
This conference will focus on the challenges and opportunities specific to Electricity: Generation, Production and Distribution in Mexico following the “Perspective for Electric Sector 2013-2027”
Mexico previous according to the Law for Renewable Energy Provisioning and Financing of the Power transition and the General Law of Climate Change that electricity generation from non-fossil energies should reach 35%of the total by 2024.
This challenge implies reviewing the current legal framework in such a way to make viable and secure private investment in complimentary activities to the public services in electricity.
The effort for the current administration, through CFE, to broaden the technology portfolio for generation is part of a strategy to meet a more efficient use of installed capacity in the country.
The efforts have been focused in the modernization of key infrastructure for generation and of the electricity networks for transmission and distribution, which will result in a more secure and reliable operation and transmission of electricity and reducing losses in electric energy.
In this way – the optimization of the electric system contributes to improving the quality of life of the population and to improve competiveness in the country.
For the electricity sector the reform creates a competitive electricity market together with open transmission access. It opens the market for sale of electricity by independent generators direct to customers and abolishes the existing requirement for all electricity to be via CFE.
The reform transforms CFE into a Productive State Enterprise with technical, management and budgetary autonomy. Therefore, CFE would compete in the electricity market with private entities but will not be privatized.
