Mexico's Four National Plans: Infrastructure, Energy, Security and Water

The fourth chapter groups public investment into four national plans, each with measurable targets, accountable owners and a budget.

In infrastructure, the plan invests more than 960 billion pesos in 2026, roughly 52 billion dollars, in transport links, ports, airports, trains, energy, hospitals and schools. The four passenger rail corridors under construction in the center and north total 1,170 kilometers, and the Saltillo-Nuevo Laredo segment will connect to the border.

In energy, the State leads and private capital participates. CFE and Pemex are the pillars, and the goal is for the State to generate at least 54% of electricity, while the remaining 46% stays open to private investment under defined rules. The plan foresees 32,000 megawatts of new capacity by 2030, of which 22,000 will be renewable.

In security, the daily average of intentional homicides fell 53% between September 2024 and August 2026, and the México te abraza program offers humanitarian support to nationals returning to the country. In water, Conagua reports more than 5 billion cubic meters recovered from private concessions, and the 17 strategic projects total around 80 billion pesos.

The report itself acknowledges limits: the largest rail works are between 10% and 45% complete, several security figures are preliminary, and crude production remains below the target of 1.8 million barrels per day.

For the Latino community, the rail connection to the border, the regulated opening to private investment in energy and the support for returning nationals are the most visible points of contact with the United States.
