Based on that, and due to advances in this area around the world it was necessary to enact an energy reform initiative to establish a competitive environment, encourage renewable energy, and to increase the quality of electricity service for the Mexican people.

In this book, written by Enrique Ochoa Reza, current Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Electricity Commission, he provides an account of the challenges that the country faced before the energy reform, the change in the legal framework this reform has produced, and the benefits and transformation that have taken place since its implementation. This essay offers a unique opportunity to understand the importance and need for energy reform of this dimension for Mexico.
