Objective The objective is to analyze the evolution of the Mexican Electricity System in
the long term based on energy policies and, the oil price trends.
National Strategy of Climate Change
I. Climate objectives
442,859 kt CO2 total by 2020 (-30% compared to 2000 levels)
210,880 kt CO2 total by 2050 (-50% compared to 2000 levels)
II. Electricity objectives
35% share clean energies in electricity generation by 2024
40% share clean energies in electricity generation by 2034
50% share clean energies in electricity generation by 2054

Methodology The EFDA TIMES Model (ETM) is a techno-economic model of the global
energy system which belongs to the TIMES models family.
• ETM uses the TIMES model generator developed by IEA-ETSAP (IEA Energy Technology
Systems Analysis Programme Implementing Agreement)
• 17 world regions: Africa, Australia-New Zealand, Brazil, Central Asia and Caucasus, Canada,
China, Europe, India, Japan, Middle East, Mexico, Other Developing Asia, Other Eastern Europe,
Other Latin America, Russia, South Korea, and United States.
• Time horizon: 2100

Conclusions The Mexican government launched in 2013 an ambitious energy reform to
modernize the energy system.
The results of this work show to what extent the energy targets are achievable
in terms of technologies and resources availability under different oil price
scenarios.
Through the use of a global energy optimization model, 3 scenarios have been
built to analyse the evolution of the public Mexican electricity system under
different assumptions on policies and oil prices.
Main technologies to meet RES targets are Wind, Solar and Geothermal.
