Mexico reports 6.86 GW of solar PV projects in development pipeline

Mexico’s Energy Ministry (Sener) has identified 42 solar photovoltaic projects with a combined capacity of 6,856.4 MW and 13 wind projects totaling 4,027.5 MW in its renewable energy development pipeline. According to government data, state-owned utility Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is involved in approximately 70% of the portfolio.

The government has also identified another 9,050 MW of generation capacity awaiting allocation, including 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 projects. Sener expects to complete the allocation process by the end of 2026.

The figures represent a downward revision from those presented in June, when Sener reported 50 solar projects totaling 7,859 MW and 17 wind projects totaling 4,701 MW. The ministry has not clarified whether the changes reflect adjustments to project scope, development status or other revisions to the portfolio.

In June, the first call for proposals under CFE’s mixed-development model resulted in the selection of 37 renewable energy projects totaling 7,411 MW, including approximately 6,710 MW of solar PV. The selection process covered a specific group of projects and is not directly comparable with Sener’s broader development pipeline.

CFE also expects 58 renewable energy plants with a combined capacity of 10,406.5 MW to be operational by 2030, including utility-owned facilities and projects developed under mixed-development arrangements. The government has not clarified how this target relates to the 55 renewable energy projects currently in its development pipeline.

9 billion) will be invested in electricity generation projects between 2025 and 2030.
