Renewable energy in Mexico - statistics & facts
Mexico’s renewable energy sector has presented a growing trend in recent years. During the last decade, the country’s primary production of renewable energy remained relatively stable, oscillating between 615 and 675 petajoules. However, in 2020 and 2021, Mexico registered significant growth in its renewable production, which surpassed 1,000 petajoules in the latter year. Likewise, renewable capacity has greatly increased in the Latin American country, reaching 31.7 gigawatts in 2021, more than two times the existing capacity in 2010. Today, Mexico is the country with the second-largest renewable capacity installed in Latin America and the Caribbean, but remains far from Brazil, the region’s leading country by a wide margin.
