Mexico Launches Fast-Track Call for 6 GW of Private Renewables

Officials frame the program as a pillar of Plan México to lift clean generation toward 38% by 2030, bolstering grid reliability.

Overview

  • Registration of interest and CENACE interconnection study requests is open Oct. 20–24 via the VUPE, with the National Energy Commission overseeing a prioritized single-window process.
  • The package targets about 6,000 MW—roughly 3,790 MW solar and 2,100 MW wind—backed by an estimated $7.14 billion in investment.
  • The first tranche covers 34 projects across six priority regions, while Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora and Sinaloa fall outside this call.
  • Dossiers are due by Nov. 5, evaluations run Nov. 6–Dec. 9, and permit approvals are scheduled for Dec. 10–12.
  • Authorities say interconnection timelines will shrink from 6–8 months to about three, and the call applies only to generation for the national market, excluding distributed generation, cogeneration and mixed schemes.
