Highlights
- The country targets a share of 38% of "clean" energy sources in the power mix in 2030 and 50% in 2050.
- In October 2024, the Senate approved a new constitutional reform to strengthen CFE's position in the power supply.
- CFE is the largest power producer, with 60% of power generation.
- Pemex dominates oil and gas production.
- Oil production has remained stable since 2019, after 15 years of decline.
- Gas production has been increasing by 4.5%/year since 2017, after 7 years of sharp decrease.
- Since 2020, prices of motor fuels and electricity have been rising by almost 15%/year.
- In 2023, electricity prices for industry were 70% higher than in the United States, whereas prices for households were 50% lower.
- Total energy consumption has increased by around 3%/year since 2020 and is approaching its 2013 peak.
- Hydrocarbons dominate the energy mix (88%), with an increasing share of gas (+10 pp since 2010) to the detriment of oil.
- Around 40 GW of additional capacity will be necessary over the next 15 years to meet the growing power demand, with a large contribution of CCGTs and renewables.
- The country is investing heavily in gas infrastructures and in renovating and expanding its refining capacity.
Institutions & Energy Policy
SENER, Secretaría de Energía, is the Ministry that coordinates the energy sector.
CRE (Comisión Reguladora de Energía) is in charge of regulating the gas and electricity sectors since 1995.
Energy Companies
Oil:
State-owned company Pemex dominates the production (tenth largest world oil producer), transformation, and distribution of crude oil and oil products. In 2008, the Senate adopted a bill opening Pemex to foreign capital and gave Pemex greater managerial and financial autonomy.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Gas production has been increasing since 2017 (+4.5%/year), reaching 43 bcm in 2023, which corresponds to the level in 2000. Previously, it fell by 6%/year on average from a peak level of 54 bcm in 2009.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Average electricity prices are US$13.7c/kWh for industry and US$8.3c/kWh for households (2023). In 2023, prices for industry were 70% higher than in the United States, whereas prices for households were 50% lower.
Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is 1.5 toe and electricity consumption per capita reached around 2 500 kWh (2023).
Total energy consumption has increased by around 3%/year on average since 2020, reaching 192 Mtoe in 2023, after a 6.5% drop in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, it had been decreasing slightly over 2013-2019 (by 0.5%/year).
Issues & Prospects
Three investment packages were allocated by the government to the energy sector in 2020: US$4.6bn as part of a US$14bn infrastructure plan, US$4.6bn for three projects (US$2.7bn for the completion of a coking plant at the Hidalgo refinery, US$720m to upgrade the Cadereyta refinery, and US$1.2bn to build an LNG plant in Salina Cruz) and US$8bn for 6 CCGT projects and the Ensenada LNG terminal in
