On March 18, 2025, President Claudia Sheinbaum enacted a sweeping energy reform package that restructures Mexico’s power sector in favor of state-owned companies. The package includes eight new secondary laws and amendments to three existing laws, implementing the framework laid out in Sheinbaum’s October 2024 constitutional reform.
Share it! The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) has approved a series of strategic investments totaling billions of dollars to modernize Mexico’s power generation infrastructure. The government outlined its 2025-2030 Power Generation Expansion Plan, which includes 12 new power plants with a combined capacity of 5,840MW across nine states.
The package includes eight new secondary laws and amendments to three existing laws, implementing the framework laid out in Sheinbaum’s October 2024 constitutional reform. These changes largely reverse the liberalization introduced in Mexico’s 2014 energy reform, significantly restricting private-sector participation.
The U.S.’ and Mexico’s energy sectors are deeply interconnected, with significant cross-border electricity trade, extensive natural gas imports by Mexico, shared supply chains, and U.S. investments in Mexico’s energy market. The contradictory stipulations in the LESE could lead to:
This would reduce gas-fired electricity generation in Mexico by 20% from 203.8 TWh in 2024 to 163.4 TWh in 2030, even as electricity demand rises by 15%. This would reduce the need to import gas by more than 384 billion cubic feet (Bcf) compared to 2024.
Mexico generated 22% of its electricity from renewables in 2024, below the global average of 32% and well below the Latin American average of 62%. In October 2024, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, in her inaugural address, declared that renewables would be promoted so as to reach a 45% share of electricity generation by 2030.
The global containerized energy storage and solar container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with commercial and industrial energy storage demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new modular energy storage installations worldwide. North America leads with 45% market share, driven by industrial power needs and commercial facility demand. Europe follows with 40% market share, where containerized energy storage systems have provided reliable electricity for manufacturing plants and commercial operations. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 60% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing containerized energy storage system prices by 30% annually. Emerging markets are adopting containerized energy storage for industrial applications, commercial buildings, and utility projects, with typical payback periods of 1-3 years. Modern containerized energy storage installations now feature integrated systems with 500kWh to 5MWh capacity at costs below $200 per kWh for complete industrial energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving containerized energy storage systems and solar container performance while reducing operational costs for various applications. Next-generation containerized energy storage has increased efficiency from 75% to over 95% in the past decade, while solar container costs have decreased by 80% since 2010. Advanced energy management systems now optimize power distribution and load management across containerized energy storage systems, increasing operational efficiency by 40% compared to traditional power systems. Smart monitoring systems provide real-time performance data and remote control capabilities, reducing operational costs by 50%.
