Mexico Closes Energy Innovation Fair, Underscoring State Control and 2030 Goals

The twin events showcase a strategy that blends efficiency training with homegrown technology under firm government guidance.

Overview

  • SENER said the two-day Energy and Innovation Fair at the National Energy and Technology Museum drew 4,526 attendees, featured 125 stands, and hosted conferences, workshops, and an efficiency course with strong student participation.
  • Energy Secretary Luz Elena González restated targets to lift renewables to at least 38% of power generation by 2030, sustain about 1.8 million barrels per day of hydrocarbons by the end of the term, and deliver electricity access to every household by 2030.
  • González framed private companies as partners while the state sets the plan and rules through binding planning that steers investment, permitting, and oversight across the sector.
  • In parallel, SENER and the International Energy Agency opened a regional energy-efficiency training week in Mexico for the first time, drawing more than 200 participants from 22 Latin American and Caribbean countries.
  • Environment Secretary Alicia Bárcena linked the agenda to Mexico’s climate pledge through 2035 and said the push for energy self-sufficiency must advance with social justice and environmental safeguards.
