Description

The Mexican energy transition has created new market opportunities for solar energy. The first three energy auctions of 2016 resulted in contracting energy from new Solar Power Plants with a total capacity of around 6 GW to be built in the next 3 years. The new regulation for distributed generation as of march 2017 will spur a dynamic market development.

In this event, public and private sector representatives will deliver firsthand information on different market segments, covering the third round of clean energy auctions, business models for distributed generation and financing options for solar. It was well attended and participating companies reported direct business contacts.

The side-event was presented the 21 of June, 2018 at the Intersolar Europe 2018, and organized by BSW-Solar, ProMéxico and GIZ.
