Ltda; Edgar Rangel, CNH Mexico This session will set the framework for the conference. High-level representatives from energy regulatory bodies of Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, and Colombia will share and discuss their efforts to create a sustainable environment for productive and socially responsible development. The interchange of ideas, tailored to a variety of settings, will spark ways to crossbreed regulatory practices that promote growth within the expectations of sustainable development within the region.
