THE ENERGY REFORM ALREADY GENERATES PROFIT
With the Energy Reform more companies can extract natural gas of our country, what we can take advantage of to generate cheaper and cleaner energy. In addition to the increasing number of participating companies in the generation of electricity, it allows us to count with new generator plants with better technology.
Nevertheless, some of the advantages of the Energy Reform are already here:
• In the Mexican households this year the electric bills reached a 2% lower level compared to the last year. For example, the domestic sector of higher consumption paid 6,15% cheaper electric bills in February 2014 and the businesses that demand more than 25 kW paid 14,3% less for electricity
• The Federal Commission of Electricity (CFE) is already modernizing its plants to be able to use the natural gas. Furthermore they are extending the Transport System and the Integrated Storage of Natural Gas.
• Since the approval of the reform, 1,032 kilometers of gas pipelines have been built and 2,549 kilometers are under construction that equates to the distance between Mexico City and Tijuana. What is more, almost 1,200 kilometers of new gas pipelines were adjudged and 265 kilometers of new additional gas pipelines are in tender which will be constructed in the next years.
There are still many benefits to come, more good-paying jobs and business opportunities for companies of all kinds will be generated.
