Energy situation

Fossil fuels dominate Mexico's energy situation, regarding Oil Mexico is ranked as the 7th biggest producer in the World[7]and this is reflected in the energy mix:

In 2009 from the 9852.9 PJ (primary energy) produced more than 90% came from fossil fuels.

Primary energy

Porcentage

Fosil fueles      92.7%
Nuclear       1.1%
Renewables        6.2%


The electricity generation is also dominated for fossil fuels, 71% of the Electricity comes from Thermal Power plants, most of them in Combined Cycle .

During the 2009 the electricity generated was 268200 GWh from a total installed capacity of  60440 MW (by Dec 2009)[8]


Renwable energy sources

Hydropower

Solar power

Mexico is a sun belt country with an annual average irraduation of 5 kWh/m2

More infomation:

Wind power

Mexico has a high wind potential, in some regions like Oaxaca the wind speed reaches values over 8 m/s.

NREL hass developed  wind atlas of some regions.


More information:

Geothermal

Mexico is the 4th place in the Geothermal installed capacity, just under 1 GW (2010)[9].
