Mexico’s green energy transition – and how Danish experiences can contribute
Mexico has set ambitious targets for its energy sector and the country has committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with 35-40 per cent by 2030 depending on the magnitude of international support. This target includes a considerable increase in renewable energy, an area where Denmark holds years of experience integrating fluctuating, renewable energy sources into the energy system.
The technical assistance from the Danish Energy Agency ensures a transfer of knowledge and expertise based on Denmark’s experience in climate and energy, which has proven that it is possible to introduce fluctuating energy sources in a cost-effective way without compromising security of supply.
Cooperation between Danish and Mexican authorities
Since 2014, the Danish Energy Agency has been working closely with Mexican authorities. The authorities have varied since then but count central energy and climate ministries such as the Mexican Ministry of Energy and the Mexican Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, where the program supports the development and implementation of Mexican energy and climate strategies as well as action plans. Furthermore, The Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a close partner.
