As she approaches the end of her first year in office, Claudia Sheinbaum’s commitment to generating more clean power in the country has not wavered.
“We are going to propel renewable energy in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during her inauguration on 1 October 2024. “The objective is that by 2030, 45% of the country’s energy will be powered by renewable sources.”
Her first move was a sweeping constitutional reform package, easily passed earlier this year thanks to Morena’s congressional majority. The new laws, published on 18 March, open the door to greater private investment in clean energy.
