Mexico: Sectorial Program of Energy 2001-2006 (PSE)

Mandates the incorporation of at least 1,000 MW of renewable energy sources to the installed electricity generation capacity by the year 2006 (excluding large hydropower plants planned by the Federal Government through the Federal Electricity Commission). In order to achieve this goal, the PSE proposes the establishment of necessary actions that allow private and public sectors to participate in the development of new renewable energy projects, including the following technologies: solar, wind, geothermal, small hydropower, biomass and biogas, among others.

Date Implemented: 2001-2006

Status: Framework Policy; Ended

Funding Information: To achieve the goal proposed in the PSE, it is necessary to use different financial mechanisms such as those developed jointly by the Federal Government and the Global Environment Fund (GEF), the World Bank, and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). These mechanisms are required to foster the development and use of renewable energy sources in the country.
