MEXICO CITY, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Mexico President Claudia
Sheinbaum said that her government will send Congress on
Wednesday a bill intended to reform the country's electricity
sector and simplify the structures of state power firm CFE
and oil producer Pemex.
"This is a very deep reform," Sheinbaum said in a morning
conference, saying it aimed to shore up Mexico's energy reserves
while keeping prices accessible to residents.
Sheinbaum has pledged continuity with the policy
preferences of her predecessor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador,
including his call for state control over energy.
The reform would give preference to state operators
while allowing for public-private partnerships.
Sheinbaum said the reform supports her administration's
industrial plan, which she presented earlier this month after
U.S. President Donald Trump's threats of imposing sanctions
against its top trade partners.
Sheinbaum added that her government would present an
investment plan for CFE next week.
