Thermal Power in Mexico, Market Outlook to 2020, 2011 Update - Capacity, Generation, Regulations, Power Plants, Companies
- Published: August 2011
BMI View: Mexico may be aiming high in terms of the use of renewables, but the odds are it will miss its ambitious targets. The potential clearly exists and, with little immediate action expected on the nuclear front, the country's non-carbon future rests on hydroelectricity and wind power.
During the period 2011-2015, Mexico's overall power generation is expected to increase by an annual average of 3.16%, reaching 297.93TWh. Driving this growth are average annual gains of around 4% in gas-fired, hydro and renewables-based generation.
While there is some interest in expanding nuclear capacity and establishing a strong renewable power generation base, conventional thermal sources are expected to dominate electricity generation in the coming years, with many power projects using coal or gas under construction or planned.
The government is looking to reduce dependency on oil-fired generation, with the majority of IPPs using gas. President Felipe Calderón has announced plans to invest US$2.5bn in new wind farms as part of the government's push to expand renewable energy, according to Reuters. A target to reach 2GW of wind capacity by 2012 appears highly ambitious.
