Mexico’s Federal Electricity Commission has awarded around 6.71GW of PV capacity in its first call for projects under mixed development schemes with private partners, making solar the dominant technology in a 7.41GW renewable energy package. The selected portfolio includes 37 renewable projects, comprising 33 solar PV projects and four wind projects, with total investment estimated at USD 7.4 billion. Awarded PV capacity was nearly double the initial 3.55GW requirement, while wind secured only around 700MW against a 2.85GW target, and no CSP projects were selected.
