This issue had to be resolved for the interaction between the Gas Electricity transport choices for the project. LNG Electricity Expansion Interactions The increasing consumption of gas in Mexico for electricity production along with the lesser than expected national growth of the internal production of gas indicates that import of gas from the US Texan or Californian market through the national pipeline system will still be an alternative to a secure gas supply although not at a competitive price. However the increasing maturation of the LNG market worldwide makes this alternative an even less cost-effective alternative for supply of gas if certain considerations are made in the electricity generation expansion plans. Therefore a basic challenge for Mexico is to incorporate the dynamics of LNG markets in traditional expansion models in order to better capture the costs and benefits of LNG as a supply source for the country instead of using pipeline gas from US markets through the national system.

Hydroelectricity is used to serve around 65 of the electricity market the remaining 35 is served by coal and natural gas fired plants. Natural gas is also used in oil refining industrial residential commercial and transportation. As in Brazil development of the natural gas industry in an environment
