Mexico\u2019s president on Thursday said he expects to reach agreement with Spanish power generation company Iberdrola (IBE.MC) after reports that the firm had canceled a major project in the eastern state of Veracruz.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, media reports suggested Iberdrola had canned the project after failing to reach a contract to supply power to the state power company, the Comision Federal de Electricidad, or CFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, according to President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, no final decision has been made yet. He said a letter sent by Iberdrola officials to the government stating its openness to continue investing in Mexico was a prelude to more talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s going to be an agreement,\u201d Lopez Obrador told reporters at a regular morning news conference. \u201cThat\u2019s the purpose of this letter, that they want to have dialogue. They\u2019re even asking to talk to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president then added that he wants Energy Minister Rocio Nahle and CFE chief executive Manuel Bartlett to meet with Iberdrola first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u2019s planned investment in the port city of Tuxpan was worth some $1.2 billion, according to local media reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leftist president has accused Iberdrola of trying to mount a media campaign against his government in collaboration with his conservative adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later on Thursday, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Christopher Landau, criticized the government\u2019s energy policies as having undermined investor confidence. He did not address Iberdrola or other specific companies or disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome actions in the past months, above all in the energy sector, have created uncertainty about the government\u2019s promise to respect what it has done in the past and not change the rules of the game,\u201d he said in an online presentation hosted by the National Confederation of Industrial Chambers (Concamin).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf (Mexico\u2019s government) really wants to draw investment, it can\u2019t change the rules of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
