Overview
- SENER, which presented the plan Thursday at the presidential morning briefing, set a 2030 horizon and a budget of about 140.9 billion pesos to expand, modernize and rehabilitate the national gas pipeline system.
- CFE will spend about 53.8 billion pesos to build nine pipelines that will feed 13 new combined-cycle power plants, with seven plants near completion and more openings expected in 2026 and 2027.
- CENAGAS will allocate about 87.1 billion pesos to three new lines—Coatzacoalcos II, Naco‑Hermosillo‑Guaymas, and Libramiento Reynosa—and to 41 projects focused on modernization, rehabilitation and maintenance.
- Mexico’s network totals 21,149 kilometers today and the plan targets a 1,750‑kilometer increase to roughly 23,289 kilometers by 2030, with 48% operated by CENAGAS, 36% by CFE and 16% by Pemex and private firms.
- Analysts caution the program will not quickly curb imports, noting the U.S. supplies about 75% of Mexico’s gas and that gas fuels roughly 60% of the country’s electricity.
