Mexico is rapidly building new pipeline infrastructure to import U.S. natural gas in order to accommodate increased energy demand due to the decline in Mexico’s domestic natural gas production.
Mexico has executed a five-year plan (2015-2019) for the expansion of natural gas transportation and storage systems. Since 2012, 1,496 miles of natural gas pipelines have been added to the national grid, and it is estimated that by the end of 2019 that amount will total 5,420 miles.
