Mexico’s Energy Ministry has actually recognized 42 solar jobs amounting to 6.86 GW and 13 wind jobs amounting to 4.03 GW in its renewable resource advancement pipeline. Another 4.45 GW of solar capability is waiting for allowance, with the federal government intending to finish the procedure by the end of 2026.
Mexico’s Energy Ministry (Sener) has actually recognized 42 solar photovoltaic tasks with an integrated capability of 6,856.4 MW and 13 wind tasks amounting to 4,027.5 MW in its renewable resource advancement pipeline. According to federal government information, state-owned energy Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is associated with around 70% of the portfolio.
The federal government has actually likewise recognized another 9,050 MW of generation capability waiting for allowance, consisting of 4,445 MW of solar PV, 2,159 MW of wind, 1,694 MW of cogeneration, and 752 MW of geothermal, solar thermal and hydrogen jobs. Sener anticipates to finish the allowance procedure by the end of 2026.
The figures represent a down modification from those provided in June, when Sener reported 50 solar jobs amounting to 7,859 MW and 17 wind tasks amounting to 4,701 MW. The ministry has actually not clarified whether the modifications show changes to predict scope, advancement status or other modifications to the portfolio.
In June, the very first require propositions under CFE’s mixed-development design led to the choice of 37 renewable resource tasks amounting to 7,411 MW, consisting of roughly 6,710 MW of solar PV. The choice procedure covered a particular group of tasks and is not straight similar with Sener’s more comprehensive advancement pipeline.
CFE likewise anticipates 58 renewable resource plants with an integrated capability of 10,406.5 MW to be functional by 2030, consisting of utility-owned centers and tasks established under mixed-development plans. The federal government has actually not clarified how this target associates with the 55 renewable resource jobs presently in its advancement pipeline.
Sener approximates that MXN 794.11 billion ($42.9 billion) will be bought electrical energy generation tasks in between 2025 and 2030. Of this overall, MXN 452.54 billion is allocated for mixed-development tasks, MXN 199.11 billion for private-sector jobs and MXN 142.46 billion for tasks established straight by CFE. The ministry has actually not offered a breakdown of the financial investment assigned particularly to solar PV or energy storage.
Amongst the tasks highlighted is the Rafael Galván Maldonado solar complex in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora. Its very first 2 stages, inaugurated in between 2023 and 2024, have a combined solar capability of 420 MW. Stages III and IV are anticipated to include another 580 MW, bringing the complex’s overall PV capability to 1 GW.
According to a current development upgrade, building of the 300 MW 3rd stage is more than 27% total. The job will include roughly 563,000 photovoltaic panels and a battery energy storage system ranked at 103 MW/309 MWh. Business operations are arranged to start in December 2027, while the 280 MW 4th stage is anticipated to come online in March 2028.
The very first 2 stages currently consist of 72 MW of battery storage capability. According to figures provided by CFE in June, the 4 stages will have a combined battery power capability of 246 MW, with overall financial investment in the complex going beyond $1.4 billion.
Sener’s most current discussion does not supply a detailed breakdown of prepared battery storage jobs, including their energy capabilities in MWh, technology-specific financial investments or commissioning schedules.
Mexico’s 2025-2030 Sectoral Energy Program requires CFE to release 2,216 MW of battery storage capability to support the growth of solar and wind generation. The figure represents prepared capability instead of functional setups.
Independently, Sener has actually kept open a require propositions for tactical standalone battery storage jobs connected to CFE. The procedure targets 935 MW of storage capability with a three-hour discharge period, comparable to 2,805 MWh. The registration due date has actually supposedly been encompassed Oct. 30. The target represents capability looked for under the procurement procedure, instead of validated task awards.
The federal government’s renewable resource evaluation likewise highlights the Techos Solares para el Bienestar (Solar Roofs for Well-being) program, which has actually benefited 5,168 families in Baja California. In between March 2025 and May 2026, CFE linked 5,140 domestic PV systems to the grid in Mexicali and San Felipe, backed by a preliminary financial investment of MXN 190 million.
The renewable resource growth kinds part of Mexico’s target to increase the share of renewables in nationwide electrical energy generation from 24% to a minimum of 38% by 2030, according to Sener.
