In support of the region's energy goals, the report explores the opportunities and challenges that. The Strengthening and Expansion Plan for the National Electric System (2025-2030) foresees a total investment of approximately MXN 624. On April 9, 2025, the Government of Mexico announced that, as part of the electricity sector initiatives, 29,000 MW of capacity will be added, with CFE.
