Mexico Senate names new commissioners to energy regulators

Mexico's Senate on Thursday named new commissioners to the country's two energy regulators and a new independent adviser for national oil company Pemex.

The Senate chose two new commissioners for oil regulator CNH, Hector Moreira and Gaspar Franco. Moreira replaces former commissioner Edgar Rangel, who died suddenly last month.

For Mexico's energy regulator CRE, the Senate selected Guillermo Garcia Alcocer as president and Luis Guillermo Pineda as a commissioner.

The commissioners were selected from lists of candidates that President Enrique Pena Nieto had sent to the Senate.

The senators also named Felipe Duarte as an independent adviser . . .
