Mexico is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generating 35% of its energy from clean sources by 2024. This represents an opportunity for renewable energy investment. Two long-term auctions in 2016 attracted 34 companies to invest $6.6 billion and add 5,000 megawatts of clean energy capacity. Solar energy emerged as the most competitive due to Mexico's favorable geography for solar generation. With reduced costs, solar photovoltaic energy can now compete with conventional energy sources. Mexico has potential to be a major exporter of solar technology to the U.S. and Latin America due to its commercial openness and competitive manufacturing prices.
