Miriam Grunstein, “The Energy Map in Mexico 2025–30: Spaces and Barriers to Private Investment,” Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, April 15, 2026, https://doi.org/10.25613/gwmb-vz86.
This working paper will address the energy legal and policy framework and the place of private investment in Mexico following the constitutional amendment of October 31, 2014, and the legislative changes enacted on March 18, 2025. The regulatory changes and administrative provisions enacted throughout 2025 are also considered. The objective is to assess the opportunities for private capital, foreign or domestic, to participate in the country’s energy landscape, in the understanding that even when private companies are not excluded from participating in the energy industry, they are now subject to substantial limitations, which break the competitive paradigm of the 2013 energy reform.
