Mexico's Dependence on Gas amid a Global Energy Crisis: What are the Implications and Alternatives?
19 May 2026 • 4:00PM GMT
The global energy system is going through a stage of structural transformation—still uncertain in its magnitude—marked by geopolitical tensions, market restructuring and increasing competition for strategic resources.
In this context, gas has taken on a central role: not only as an energy source but also as a potential tool for economic and political influence. For Mexico, this scenario poses significant challenges to ensuring reliable, affordable, and clean energy, and opens an important discussion about the country's energy future.
To support decision-making, NRGI presents its new report Four Keys to Reducing Mexico’s Dependence on Gas. This analysis seeks to broaden the debate toward approaches that address both supply and demand, recognizing the latter as an opportunity to redesign Mexico's energy system in light of recent global changes.
In this webinar, NRGI will present the report’s findings and explore different perspectives on the risks, opportunities, and public policy options for advancing the energy transition.
