THE BIG MEXICO RENEWABLE ENERGY REPORT

February 3, 2018

Mexico is one of the hottest global renewable energy markets and is currently the second largest power market in Latin America with US$110 billion of investment in the generation, transmission and distribution sectors forecast until 2030. Only five years ago, the generation, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity were all exclusively managed by the state-owned utility (and monopoly), the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE). The energy sector attracted little foreign investment and had only a few operational renewable energy projects. All that changed in 2014, when, as part of a package of reforms, the government passed the Electricity Industry Law (Ley de la Industria Eléctrica) and started the process of a profound transformation of the power market - from a vertically integrated utility controlled sector - to a liberalized generation market with more opportunities for private companies.

State and federal clean energy policies are driving an historic transition of the existing electric generating fleet in New York, including a dramatic increase in the development of clean energy projects. Mandates under the state’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) require 70% renewable energy by 2030 and an emissions-free electric system by 2040. The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law by President Biden in August 2022, makes $370 billion available in tax credits and incentives to speed the country’s transition to clean energy technology – the most aggressive climate related action ever taken by Congress.
