On March 18, 2025, the Mexican government enacted a set of New Secondary Laws that significantly reshape the country's energy framework. These laws introduce structural changes aimed at redefining the roles of key players in the industry and centralizing regulatory oversight.

Key impacts of the New Secondary Laws include:

  • The repeal and replacement of previous laws governing the hydrocarbons and electricity sectors.
  • The transformation of Federal Electricity Commission ("CFE") and Petróleos Mexicanos ("Pemex") into State-Owned Companies.
  • The elimination of independent regulators, with the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and the National Hydrocarbons Commission (CNH) being dissolved and their functions transferred to the Ministry of Energy ("SENER") through the newly created National Energy Commission ("CNE").
