Mexico
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, Mexico has committed at least USD 10.59 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- At least USD 8.66 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 11 policies (5 quantified and 6 unquantified)
- Some public money committed for conditional fossil fuels (3 policies with the value of public money unquantified)
- At least USD 934.74 million for unconditional clean energy through 6 policies (2 quantified and 4 unquantified)
- At least USD 1.00 billion for conditional clean energy through 1 policy (1 quantified)
- Some public money committed for other energy (1 policy with the value of public money unquantified)
By energy type, Mexico committed at least USD 8.66 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 8.66 billion to unconditional oil and gas).
In addition, no public money commitments identified for coal.
Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.
Finally, some public money committed for multiple fossil fuels (1 policy with the value of public money unquantified).
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Mexico through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

These new rates were published after the Energy Regulatory Commission (Comisión Reguladora de Energía -CRE) approved a petition by the national electricity company to increase the costs to private electricity generators. The high and medium-transmission rates changed from 0.049 pesos to 0.2785 and 0.2586 pesos per KW/hr, an increase of 469 and 428%, respectively. The low-tension transmission rate was increased from 0.09799 pesos to 0.8928 pesos per KW/hr, an increase of 811%. The new transmission tariff, know as the "porteo estampilla y porteo térmico" will be applied to thermal plants as well as plantas de autoabastecimiento and renewables considered "legacy plants", meaning their licenses were given by the regulating commission before the Law for Electricity Industry ("Ley de la Industria Eléctrica - LIE). These new transmission tariffs follow assertions by the national government and others that the national electricity company is losing money from the low fees paid by private energy providers. | https://web.archive.org/save/ https://dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5593425&fecha=15/05/2020 |
