Our participation in advising project operators and project finance providers to structure, develop, finance and acquire an ample variety of private projects for power generation (with renewable and non-renewable sources) has been extremely useful to help new and existing entities understand the impacts to the industry of these changes.

Rely on our position as one of Mexico's leading advisors for generation and transmission issues across the country. Our team participated in the market liberalization of the energy sector in 2013, and as part of that reform, the generation and marketing of electric power are excluded from the public utility services reserved to the Mexican state.

As a result of our participation, we have been involved in the majority of independent power producer projects developed in Mexico. Benefit from our experience and use our critical advice to understand the wealth of new opportunity under these reforms. We will support you in creating new structures to participate in the recently created wholesale electricity market.

Whether your project requires our experience here in Mexico, or across the world, we can provide you with the right counsel wherever your business takes you.
