Mexico’s energy secretariat, Sener, confirmed the expansion of the country’s wind energy sector through major project awards in the northern states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo León.

Why it matters
The expansion is part of a broader federal goal to increase the share of renewable energy in Mexico’s electricity mix from 24.61% this year to over 38% by 2030. The overall wind capacity target is 15,000 megawatts within six years, up from approximately 8,140 MW.
