Capacity Prices and the Wholesale Electricity Market
The Status of Energy Auctions in Mexico
The status of energy auctions in Mexico has become increasingly complicated, but private auctions still promise to help Mexico transition to clean energy. The immediate impact of private auctions will mostly be on existing projects, but they could lead to additional renewable energy development in the future. Some generators under construction were unable to contract all their energy or received overly low prices at previous auctions.
The Natural Gas Industry in Mexico
New pipelines have enormous potential to support increased natural gas production in Mexico and also reduce the costs of imports. Although there is already an impressive pipeline infrastructure for transporting natural gas from the U.S. into Mexico, it does not reach the entire country. Most of the less expensive piped gas goes only to the northern states of Mexico, in part to provide power for factories.
An Overview of Virtual Power Purchase Agreements
For many years, the market for clean energy was limited by unstable prices. Energy prices are generally difficult to predict, but clean energy adds the uncertainty of new technologies and the weather.

For instance, in March 2015, it submitted a climate action plan to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), being the first developing country to do so. As a part of its efforts, Mexico has set policies and laws to increase energy efficiency promote clean energy.

Mexico’s renewable energy auctions benefited from the experiences of other countries, so results have generally been better. According to IRENA, 53% of Mexican solar energy auction projects were on time, while only 37% experienced delays.
