## Resource

In the latest episode of NGI’s Hub & Flow podcast, NGI’s Christopher Lenton, managing editor of Mexico, sits down with Mexico City-based energy analyst Gonzalo Monroy to explore Mexico’s deep dependence on U.S. natural gas and the country’s uphill battle to develop its own resources. Monroy, managing director of consultancy Grupo Mexicano de Energía y Construcción, outlines how Mexico’s power sector relies on U.S. pipeline gas, while years of underinvestment and weak regulatory frameworks have left domestic production stagnant. From stalled deepwater and shale projects to the lack of natural gas storage, Monroy explains why efforts to boost production face steep economic and technical hurdles. The conversation also delves into Mexico’s LNG ambitions, private sector interest in partnering with CFE, and the uncertain role of Pemex—painting a picture of an energy landscape where ambitious plans risk falling short, leaving Mexico tethered to U.S. supplies.
