Public Policies for Renewable Energy in Baja California, Chiapas and Oaxaca

Abstract

The production of clean, renewable energy is one of the principal elements of the Mexican government’s current public energy policy. Based on a literature review of state public policies, legal frameworks and government programs, the states of Baja California, Chiapas and Oaxaca have demonstrated institutional coherence in carrying out measures in a manner consistent with local and federal energy policies. In this regard, these three states have demonstrated firm institutional foundations capable of initiating large-scale measures in the sustainable use of renewable energies.
