New Electric Industry in Mexico

Did you know that Mexico was one of the last countries that had a restructure of the electric field?

The electric field is very important and it has a strong impact on the competitiveness of the country. The reform to the Mexican electric sector opens opportunities for the state and the private industry to work together.

The restructure of the electric sector stimulates the investment in the development of the infrastructure of gas pipes, modernization of the generation park, giving priority to clean energies and the expansion of the electric network.

This course is a unique opportunity that will help you comprehend the situation previously to the reform, the current situation, and the challenges and business opportunities in the electric field.
