Calleja Alor expressed her gratitude for the appointment calling it a “high honor” and vowing to continue “with the legacy and work of the administration that is ending, which, as we well know, rescued the CFE and defended Mexico’s energy sovereignty.

“We will continue to strengthen the 54 percent share of national generation that we have at CFE, promoting its growth, ensuring that electricity reaches all homes at affordable prices and promoting the efficient use of energy and the energy transition,” she said.
