Mexico — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 719 energy assets in Mexico across 13 layers — the 11th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 311 power plants, 230 oil & gas fields and 65 pipelines. Operating generation capacity is 90.8 GW, led by gas at 54%. Refining capacity is about 1,740 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Petróleos Mexicanos (167), Comisión Federal de Electricidad EPE (95) and Petróleos Mexicanos EPE (65), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Mexico's mapped assets in service predate 2004 (median commissioning year of the 496 with a known date), 155 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Necaxa hydroelectric plant, dating from 1905. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Jorge Luque power station (1.5 GW).
