Mexico's Energy Policy Faces Challenges in Meeting Climate Goals

As Mexico continues to prioritize state control over its energy sector, meeting its 2030 climate commitments remains uncertain.

  • Mexico's historical pride in nationalizing its oil industry conflicts with current climate commitments.
  • Presidential candidates propose maintaining strong state control over energy, potentially hindering progress on climate goals.
  • CFE's dominance in electricity generation, using mainly non-renewable sources, complicates efforts to increase clean energy production.
  • Experts express concerns that without reducing fossil fuel reliance, Mexico's climate targets may be unachievable.
  • Proposals from candidates vary, with some advocating for more private sector involvement to boost renewable energy.
