Cross-border energy flows will likely be a prominent theme between the two countries in the months ahead. However, critical technical, regulatory, and financing constraints must be overcome before these energy flows reach the potential indicated by current market fundamentals. Key issues affecting US-Mexico cross-border energy flows include * asymmetrical regulatory and market structures * power grid synchronization issues * high investment needs in a changing regulatory environment * uncertainty of long-term regional supply-demand imbalances **end** Follow above URL for complete CERA Private Report (18 printed pages).
