Webinar: Energy Reform in Mexico: Examining Land Use Laws and Issues
The Kay Bailey Hutchison Energy Center at the University of Texas School of Law will present a free webinar explaining the laws, both new and old, that govern land use for energy development in Mexico and other important considerations for working with land owners.
The webinar will be Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 1 p.m. Central time.
“Mexico has passed legislation to encourage international investment in the country’s energy sector with great opportunities for economic development in oil, gas, electricity infrastructure and power generation,” the Center says on its website. “However, land use controversies could impede progress. Energy-reform legislation passed last summer gives energy development priority in land-use disputes which has provoked resistance from land owners and political opponents to the reform. The law also establishes obligations for energy developers related to matters such as notice and payment.”
Topics will include:
- Energy Reform Legislation: Land Use and Land Owners
- Land Use Negotiation Process
- Landowner Compensation
