The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) entered into force on 1 July 2020, and substituted the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Mexico and Canada remain key destinations for U.S. energy exports. However pressure mounts after both the United States and Canada have launched a dispute settlement consultation which alleges the undermining of companies and the U.S. produced energy in favor of the state-run-utility Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and oil company (PEMEX).
Clean energy infrastructure is particularly at risk of a continued impasse, with possible termination of self-supply and independent power producer projects. Likewise, Mexico’s 2014 Hydrocarbons Law (Ley de Hydrocarburos or LH), suffered modifications in May of 2021, which purportedly violates free competition granting state control over petroleum products.
As the October fourth deadline approaches for avoiding the formation of a dispute settlement panel, stakeholders attentively expect what would the Mexican Government decides to do. Will litigation proceed? How could it affect Mexico’s energy security and state plans for energy independence? Are Mexico’s changes justifiable? What are the potential consequences and costs?
A distinguished panel of experts, moderated by Alexander Braune, Head of the ANZMEX Energy group, will attempt (10 days after the mentioned deadline) to answer these questions. Also, they will discuss the implications and intricacies of the results and how, the USMCA energy framework landscape could be reshaped and directly impact future investments, trade, competition, transparency, and regulation.
Join us and be part of the 20th edition of our Energy Debate Series©. It will be followed by a networking cocktail to commemorate the 12th anniversary of ANZMEX©. This is going to be a very special day for our Business Council and we will be delighted to welcome you to our event.
The Chatham House Rule will be enforced and the debate will be conducted in English.
