Mexico Increases Reliance on Natural Gas to Support Electricity Demand—Mexico is ramping up its use of natural gas for power generation, with several plants coming online in recent years, and at least 10 more expected to come online this year, next year, or in 2026. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) in an analysis published in April of this year forecast an increase in U.S. natural gas pipeline exports to Mexico, noting that several pipelines in Mexico—Tula-Villa de Reyes, Tuxpan-Tula, and Cuxtal Phase II connecting to the Energía Mayakan pipeline on the Yucatán Peninsula—will become fully operational this year and next, after beginning partial service in 2022.
