On November 28 2008, a legislative package referred to as the Energy Reform was enacted. Its primary purpose, as stated by the debates in Congress, is to strengthen the Mexican oil industry, headed by Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex), a decentralised Mexican entity, and allow the industry to continue being a driver of the development of Mexico. The Energy Reform also includes attempts to regulate and promote the use of renewable energies.
