Manuel Bartlett, director of the Federal Electricity Commission: “We undertook the rescue of the CFE in the face of the changes that have put it in danger of extinction, this is not rhetoric, the system imposed by the Energy Reform has led the CFE to an absurd fragmentation. With the disappearance of the CFE, electricity disappears as a human right for all.
In the context of the centenary of the Mexican section of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Director General of the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), Manuel Bartlett Díaz, supported the social commitment of the CFE to the Mexican population, and its important for the economic development of the country.
In Acapulco, Guerrero, within the framework of the International Summer Meeting on Power and Industrial Applications (RVP-AI) and the International Autumn Meeting on Communications, Computing and Electronics (ROCC), of the IEEE, Bartlett Díaz indicated that, as part of the In order to strengthen energy security in Mexico, the CFE has signed several strategic alliances with the North American and Canadian private energy sector.
For example, he pointed out, the alliance with the company TC Energía, which will develop the extension of the maritime pipeline to Coatzacoalcos to transport natural gas to the Mexican southeast. This gas pipeline also currently allows 60% of CFE’s power plants to consume natural gas at affordable prices.
Likewise, the boss of the CFE recalled the importance of saving the CFE, since it is the most important social enterprise in the country, which electrifies through thousands and thousands of kilometers of lines and transmission networks. and distribution, and which has succeeded in transforming the lives of indigenous women or remote rural communities.
“We undertook the rescue of the CFE in the face of changes that have put it in danger of extinction, this is not rhetoric, the system imposed by the energy reform has led the CFE to an absurd fragmentation. With the disappearance of the CFE, electricity disappears as a human right for all,” he told those present.
Finally, he celebrated the centenary of the Mexican section of the IEEE, the contributions of the engineers who for decades have contributed to the technical development of the electrical sector and the work of the electrical personnel, especially during contingencies.
During his participation, Ray Liu, World President of the IEEE, thanked the Director General of the CFE for his support and participation in the Institute. He expressed that the contributions of engineers and technicians have enabled great advances in energy for the benefit of humanity.
Ricardo Mota, Director General of the National Energy Control Center and Vice President of the Mexican Section of the IEEE, and Salvador Portillo, President of the National Chamber of Electrical Manufacturers, thanked the organization of the forum which promotes the scientific dissemination and development of new technologies develop and modernize the national power system.
Attending the event were Rafael Ramírez, Technical Director of the IEEE Mexican Section; Pablo Realpozo, President of the IEEE Mexican Council; Jorge Hernández, IEEE ROCC 2022 Meeting Chair and Enrique Tejera, IEEE Latin America Regional Director.
