Texas Freeze Demonstrates Need for Further Mexico-U.S. Energy Integration, Expert Says
Freezing weather in Texas in February and the subsequent energy supply problems on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border underline a need for greater energy integration between the two countries, Lorena Patterson, senior energy specialist and strategist, told
NGI’s Mexico Gas Price Index.
“I would advocate for greater integration between the markets, and more diversification of energy sources on both sides of the border. In an emergency situation where energy supplies are limited, it is always necessary to triage and send supplies to areas where they are most critical,” she said.
