Since 2016
Deepening Bilateral Energy Cooperation between Germany and Mexico
- The Mexican-German Energy Partnership intensified strategic cooperation in 2025 through high-level dialogue and hybrid events, emphasising trade promotion and energy security through expertise and the exchange of best practices.
- Key activities included an online seminar series on electricity storage and a week-long training on mini-grids to strengthen energy system resilience.
- To showcase German technologies, the partnership organised the biogas forum “Opportunities for Biogas in Mexico – Experiences from Germany” with dena and Fachverband Biogas, and hosted the H2Global Roadshow in Mexico City.
- The partnership supported Germany’s role in the energy transition through trade fair participation, policy papers, and a study on green hydrogen potential in Campeche and export options for hydrogen derivatives to Europe.
- High-level Mexican participation at Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue (BETD) in March and Intergovernmental Negotiations in Berlin enabled bilateral meetings between Federal Ministry for Econmic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and SENER, reinforcing working relations after changes of government in both countries.

Foreign Trade Promotion
In 2025, the Mexican-German Energy Partnership continued to deepen strategic energy cooperation through high-level political dialogue and a series of virtual and in-person events, bringing together public and private sector stakeholders. Drawing on expertise and the exchange of international best practices, the partnership focused on promoting trade relations and enhancing energy security.
Key events bringing together public and private sector stakeholders included an online seminar series on electricity storage solutions as well as a week-long capacity-building training course on mini-grids as a means of enhancing energy system resilience. To promote German companies and technologies in the energy transition, the EP organised the biogas forum “Opportunities for Biogas in Mexico – Experiences from Germany”, featuring experts from dena and the Fachverband Biogas. Additionally, the EP hosted the H2Global Roadshow in Mexico City.
Germany showcased its role as a key player in the energy transition through participation in trade fairs, the publication of policy papers, and a study on green hydrogen production potential in Campeche – including export opportunities for hydrogen derivatives to Europe.
During the Local Business Council meetings, German companies operating in Mexico engaged directly with BMWE representatives.
The Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue (BETD) in March and the Intergovernmental Negotiations in Berlin in December featured high-level participation from Mexico’s Ministry of Energy (SENER), creating opportunities for bilateral meetings between BMWE and SENER representatives. These engagements played a key role in re-establishing working relations after the change of administrations in both countries.
