From Mexico's Energy Secretariat Awards Major Wind Projects in Tamaulipas and Nuevo León

How will the awarding of wind projects in northern states affect CFE?

CFE awarded major wind projects in Tamaulipas and Nuevo León The country's energy secretariat, Sener, has confirmed that the wind energy sector is poised for significant expansion over the next four years. This expansion is driven by a wider federal goal to increase renewable energy's share of Mexico’s electricity mix from 24.61% in 2025 to over 38% by 2030. CFE has been awarded eight specific wind projects with a combined capacity of 2,949 MW. These projects are slated to come online between 2029 and 2030, utilizing mixed public-private arrangements and including battery storage systems totaling nearly 890 MW.
