Saavi Energía and Grupo México finalized the closing of the transaction that combines their electricity generation assets in Mexico , giving way to a diversified platform with approximately 4.5 GW of capacity and a presence in high-demand regions of the country.
Following the completion of the transaction, Grupo México now controls 70% of Saavi Energía , while Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), a subsidiary of BlackRock, retains the remaining 30% . The closing formalizes the transaction that the companies had previously announced.
The move modifies the shareholding structure of one of the main private players in the Mexican market for power generation and, according to Saavi Energía, seeks to increase its scale, strengthen its operational capabilities and improve its financial position .
In its official statement, the power generator maintains that it expects the combination to "strengthen its financial position, increase its scale and operational capabilities," as well as reinforce its position as the leading electricity generation platform in Mexico .
According to information released directly by Saavi, the integration comprises 10 power generation plants strategically located in high-demand regions of Mexico , in addition to a mobile power generation business and three gas compression stations .
In total, the new platform reaches 4.5 GW of combined electricity generation capacity , a scale that positions the operation as a relevant move within the Mexican energy market.
Grupo México controls 70% of the new structure
One of the key aspects of the closing is the new shareholding structure. Grupo México retains 70% ownership of Saavi Energía , while Global Infrastructure Partners keeps the remaining 30% .
GIP is part of BlackRock , so the operation keeps the global investment manager within Saavi's corporate structure, although now with Grupo México as the majority shareholder.
In this way, Grupo México adds to its portfolio a controlling stake in a 4.5 GW generation platform , while Saavi integrates the electrical assets contributed by the Mexican conglomerate.
The transaction aims to leverage the complementary nature of both companies' assets. The result is a platform that combines generation infrastructure at strategic points across the country and adds activities related to both mobile generation and gas compression .

The location of the assets is another key element highlighted by Saavi Energía. The company specifies that the 10 plants are distributed across Mexican regions characterized by high electricity demand .
Saavi seeks to gain scale and strengthen its financial position
Beyond the change in shareholding, Saavi Energía identifies specific financial and operational effects resulting from the combination .
The company anticipates that the integration will strengthen its financial position , a key factor in sustaining operations and supporting future growth opportunities within the Mexican market.
This is in addition to an expansion of scale. The combination of the facilities that already belonged to Saavi with the generation assets of Grupo México raises the size of the platform to 4.5 GW of combined capacity .
The third component highlighted by the company relates to operational capabilities. Saavi expects the new structure to enhance its operations based on a broader and more diversified portfolio of energy infrastructure .
Thus, the operation is not limited to a share transfer. It combines physical assets of both companies and simultaneously redefines the ownership of Saavi Energía , with Grupo México in a controlling position and GIP/BlackRock as a minority partner.
According to the company's statement, the integration also aims to strengthen Saavi's position as an electricity generation platform in Mexico .
The closing, announced on September 8, 2026 , thus leaves three central figures: 4.5 GW of combined generation capacity, 70% participation for Grupo México and 30% for Global Infrastructure Partners .
The new corporate structure thus combines the industrial scale of Grupo México with the continued presence of GIP, a subsidiary of BlackRock, within the capital of Saavi Energía .
For the power generator, the expected outcome involves having greater scale, strengthened operational capabilities and a more solid financial position , supported by a diversified portfolio of energy infrastructure distributed in strategic regions of the Mexican market.
With the completion of the previously announced transaction, Saavi Energía begins a new stage under the majority control of Grupo México , while BlackRock remains linked to the platform through the 30% stake held by Global Infrastructure Partners.
