CEA Deepens Electricity Cooperation with Mexico

CEA-AME Memorandum of Understanding strengthens North American electricity integration through cross-border interconnection, regulatory cooperation, grid security strategies, climate action, and investment, enhancing reliability, sustainability, and affordability across generation, transmission, and distribution sectors.

While in Mexico as part of a Canadian energy and mining trade delegation led by federal Natural Resources Minister, the Hon. Jim Carr, the Canadian Electricity Association (CEA), signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Asociaciόn Mexicana de Energia (AME), reflecting broader calls for a stronger U.S.-Canada energy partnership across North America.

The agreement, signed by the Hon. Sergio Marchi, President and CEO of CEA, and Jamie de la Rosa, President of the AME, will deepen the two associations’ collaboration on issues of shared importance such as physical interconnections, regulatory frameworks, security strategies and climate change action, as well as provide an avenue to explore business and investment opportunities amid growing support for Canadian energy projects across the region.

“CEA very much looks forward to working with AME to increase the integration of our North American energy system and continuously improve the reliability, sustainability and affordability of our electricity network, including initiatives like an Ontario-Quebec energy swap that help with electricity demands,” said Marchi. “We face global and regional challenges that require international partnerships, in an effort to develop joint solutions and build the clean energy systems required to power the economy of tomorrow.”

This agreement, in conjunction with CEA’s existing relationships with U.S. electricity trade associations, will facilitate continent wide collaboration in electricity generation, transmission and distribution, reflecting rising U.S. demand for Canadian green power across the grid.
