HOUSTON MEXICO ENERGY invites you to join us on August 25 @ 5:00 pm, for our next discussion covering the Mexican Electricity Sector: The recent Constitutional reform that gave way to the complete overhaul of the legal framework regulating the energy sector in Mexico will open its markets to foreign investment like never before. Understanding the scope and breadth of the changes that are taking place, and the investment opportunities that will follow will be crucial to companies considering Mexico as a target country for growth. The Houston Mexico Energy Group was formed as a venue to attain this understanding, by offering the best networking & educational forum in Houston to develop relationships, business know-how and opportunities in Mexico’s Energy sectors. Since April 2014, we have hosted renowned guest speakers who have covered the most relevant energy related topics, as well as NAFTA and Risk Management discussions. Today, we are pleased to continue with our discussions focused on the power sector.
Mexican Electricity Reform Implementation Update Our distinguished guest speaker, José María Lujambio, will explain:
The first two auctions organized by the National Center for Energy Control (CENACE). The unbundling of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). New regulations applicable to market participants. The present and future of clean energy certificates.
