Energy
Practice Description
Mexico’s far-reaching 2013 energy reform opened broad swaths of the industry to private investment, attracting foreign capital to both the oil & gas and power sectors. Billions of dollars of investment flowed into the country, funding myriad projects, including a heavy influx of capital into the renewable energy space. Yet, upon the election of former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in 2018, the Mexican government dramatically shifted course, throwing many of those investments into turmoil.
Our energy practice stayed abreast of these developments throughout the energy ecosystem. We remained at the forefront of the fast-paced implementation of new rules and regulations influencing investment opportunities in the sector. And we successfully guided a range of clients through some very challenging times, ensuring their projects moved forward.
Under President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s energy sector is once again open for business, but on new terms. The constitutional reform of October 2024 and the secondary legislation enacted in March 2025 restored CFE and Pemex to the center of the sector and consolidated regulatory authority under the Ministry of Energy. Within that state-led framework, the government is actively courting private capital: new mixed-investment schemes allow companies to partner with CFE on generation, storage, and transmission and with Pemex on exploration and production, while permitting rounds have cleared the way for a significant tranche of private renewable and storage projects. Energy sits at the center of Plan México and the administration’s infrastructure investment agenda.
In this promising climate, our team provides not only the policy analysis to understand how the new framework is being implemented and where it is likely headed, but also practical, on-the-ground support to companies doing business in the sector. From site selection, permitting, and environmental review to bespoke engagement strategies and the development of winning arguments, we assist clients in navigating the relevant federal and state government agencies to manage the impact of current energy policy on their interests. We do this by combining our extensive connectivity to key decision-makers at the highest levels with an out-of the-box approach that often turns challenges into opportunities. We also provide effective market entry and business development services by connecting clients with our broad network of government and private-sector contacts. We are proud that some of the most iconic and successful energy projects in Mexico have been undertaken with Monarch’s help.

Infrastructure
Practice Description
Mexico’s infrastructure needs have long outpaced the public resources available to meet them. To help bridge that gap, the Mexican government draws on private capital through a range of investment vehicles — including concessions, public-private partnerships, and mixed-investment schemes — across transportation, energy, water, telecommunications, and other critical infrastructure. The frameworks governing private-sector participation continue to evolve, and project priorities are set administration by administration.
With a knowledgeable and well-connected team, Monarch Global Strategies’ Infrastructure practice is in a position to help clients identify opportunities and monitor projects once they are underway. We can help foreign companies find appropriate Mexican partners for infrastructure projects, and we provide a deep understanding of permitting and construction licensing, such as environmental and social impact studies — a crucial stage for any project in Mexico. We deliver unique market insights and risk assessment in all phases of a project, as well as access and engagement with key commercial, academic, and political stakeholders in the complex Mexican construction arena.
