Energy sector shifts toward electrification and digitalization in Mexico and Central America

Energy and technology leaders are addressing the transformation of service stations and industrial energy management through electrification and digitalization.

In Mexico, the ExpoGas Monterrey 2026 event will focus on the evolution of service stations, specifically the integration of electric charging infrastructure alongside traditional fuel sales. Key topics include fuel traceability through the SIRACP system, regulatory changes from the National Energy Commission regarding self-consumption, and the potential integration of ethanol into the national market.

In Central America, Schneider Electric hosted Innovation Day Centroamérica 2026 to discuss how digitalization, artificial intelligence, and electrification are redefining industrial competitiveness. The event highlighted the increasing energy demand driven by AI and the need for resilient critical infrastructure and sustainable energy management across industries and data centers.
