Mexico's Energy Reform will be the highlight of the 21st annual U.S.-Mexico Border Energy Forum on October 15-17 in Monterrey

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- San Antonio, TX- Mexico’s energy reform will be a central theme as top corporate executives and government officials meet to discuss energy infrastructure, transport and finance at the 21st annual U.S.-Mexico Border Energy Forum, Oct. 15-17 at the Presidente Intercontinental Hotel in Monterrey, Nuevo León.

The North American Development Bank and Border Environment Cooperation Commission spearhead the conference’s Organizing Committee along with the Texas General Land Office, the founding agency; the U.S-Mexico Chamber of Commerce, and the Energy Council.

The Border Energy Forum is a collaborative effort among the 10 states along the U.S.-Mexico border. The original idea was to gather 50 people each from the United States and Mexico once a year to exchange information about the best ways to produce and consume energy in our fast-growing region, forge new partnerships and work together on economic development and environmental protection. The forum now draws an annual crowd surpassing 300, usually evenly divided between Americans and Mexicans. The forum has become a cornerstone of energy policy and program development for the region.

Although the Forum strives to put forward the latest topics affecting energy development and its impact on the environment and economic development on both sides of the border, this year the dominant topic by far will be Mexico’s Energy Reform.

A host committee includes the Comisión Federal de Electricidad, Fundación PROFIME, Secretaría de Desarrollo Sustentable de Nuevo León, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Secretaría de Desarrollo Económico de Nuevo León, Oficina de Convenciones y Visitantes de Monterrey, Instituto para la Protección Ambiental, CAINTRA Nuevo León, Fideicomiso para el Ahorro de Energía Eléctrica, and the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.

The Forum alternates each year between U.S. and Mexican cities along the border. Last year’s forum was held in San Antonio. It has been held at least once in each of the ten U.S. and Mexican border states.

The Land Office coordinates the forum in collaboration with many public-and-private-sector organizations. The forum is a non-profit event made possible through sponsorships and grants.
