A drama of power, investment and energy destiny
In a turn that shook the foundations of the Mexican energy sector, President Claudia Sheinbaum raised her voice like a heroine defending the territory of uncertainty. With the solemnity of someone who supports the future of the country in his words, he declared that Iberdrola, the Spanish electricity giant, had no reason to abandon Mexico. “Why run away?” he asked with the intensity of an oath, as the shadows of past conflicts loomed over the stage.
The battle for legality and the energy future
With the precision of a strategist in the middle of an economic war, Sheinbaum wielded the current rules as an invincible shield. “Self-supply societies must be regularized,” he warned, his tone charged with urgency. “It is not a question of lack of legal certainty, but of respecting the Rule of Law.” His words resonated as a challenge, a call to align with the law or face the consequences.
But destiny was already in motion. After years of tensions with the Morenoist governments, Iberdrola made a decision that shook the markets: it would sell its assets and leave. El Confidencial revealed that the company, with the help of the feared bank Barclays, would put 15 renewable energy plants up for sale, valued at a fortune of 4 billion euros. The reason? The specter of legal and fiscal instability that lurked around every corner.
However, in the National Palace, Sheinbaum stood firm as a rock against the tide. “Private investment in electricity generation is viable,” he declared, his voice a beacon of hope in the midst of the storm. “54% of CFE is guaranteed, and there is room for everyone.” Would his words be enough to calm fears, or would Iberdrola’s exodus mark the beginning of an irreversible crisis?
The suspense intensifies, and the world watches. Will Mexico manage to retain one of the largest energy players, or will this episode be remembered as the beginning of the end? Only time will tell.
