HISTORICAL POLITICAL ACHIEVEMENT
MEXICO 2012:
URGENT NEED FOR AN ENERGY REFORM
3
In 2012, Mexico’s energy sector was showing serious signs of strain, despite Energy reform
of 2008 and growing investment:
• Declining oil and gas production.
• Increasing power production costs.
• Stagnant investment in renewables.
• Ageing infrastructure and limited investment.
• Limited technological development.
• Widening human resources gap.
• Increasing dependency on natural gas and oil products imports.
