Mexico: Reliable destination for investment electricity

Mexico is emerging as a reliable destination for investment, particularly in the electricity sector, which offers stability and attractive returns amid global competition for capital.

Katya Samohano, head of operations in Mexico for the energy firm Cox, noted that over the past two years there has been a positive shift in energy policy, with greater recognition of the private sector’s role as a driver of the national economy.

During its participation in the 2026 National Meeting of Regional Advisors, BBVA Mexico noted that in recent months, various international funds—and locally, the AFOREs—have invested in the projects launched by Sheinbaum.

Samohano also acknowledged that under this administration, a positive and constructive shift has been observed over the past two years, based on a premise that differed from that of the previous six-year term: understanding the importance of energy—specifically electricity.

It is worth noting that the federal government has introduced a series of measures aimed at encouraging private investment, notably including greater openness to allow electricity companies to participate in generation projects.
