The five-year plan targets about $6 billion in equity and $6 billion in debt, with roughly $8 billion earmarked for renewable power generation in Mexico.
MIP also plans to allocate $2.5 billion to highways, $1 billion to midstream assets and $500 million to digital infrastructure, while courting institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds and Mexican pension funds.
The programme ranks among Mexico's most ambitious private-sector investment drives as President Claudia Sheinbaum pushes broader national development and infrastructure expansion.

Unlocking Mexico’s $12 Billion Infrastructure Investment: Legal Reforms and Strategic Focus on Renewables and Logistics
Overview
In 2026, Mexico Infrastructure Partners (MIP) announced a $12 billion investment plan focused on renewable energy, highways, and midstream energy to support Mexico's growing role as the largest US import source since 2023. This plan is enabled by the April 2026 Infrastructure Law, which introduces flexible participation schemes, long-term contracts, and tools like Special Purpose Vehicles to attract institutional investors. MIP’s $8 billion commitment to renewables supports critical grid modernization projects and job creation, aligning with President Sheinbaum’s $336 billion national infrastructure plan. Balanced financing through $6 billion equity and $6 billion debt, backed by new budget stability measures, strengthens the plan’s viability amid economic and regulatory challenges.
