Electricity sector in Mexico
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Electricity_sector_in_Mexico
La Energía Eléctrica en México se considera estratégica para la soberanía nacional. Existen limitaciones para la participación privada y se permite a las empresas extranjeras operar en el país sólo a través de contratos de servicio específicos. Según establece la Constitución, el sector eléctrico es de propiedad federal y es la Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) quien controla esencialmente todo el sector. Los intentos de reformar el sector se han enfrentado tradicionalmente a una gran resistencia política y social en México, donde los subsidios para consumidores residenciales absorben considerables recursos fiscales.

As required by the Constitution, the electricity sector is federally owned, with the Federal Electricity Commission (Comisión Federal de Electricidad or CFE) essentially controlling the whole sector; private participation and foreign companies are allowed to operate in the country only through specific service contracts. Attempts to reform the sector have traditionally faced strong political and social resistance in Mexico, where subsidies for residential consumers absorb substantial fiscal resources.

Attempts to reform the sector have traditionally faced strong political and social resistance in Mexico, where subsidies for residential consumers absorb substantial fiscal resources. The electricity sector in Mexico relies heavily on thermal sources (75% of total installed capacity), followed by hydropower generation (19%). Although exploitation of solar, wind, and biomass resources has a large potential, geothermal energy is the only renewable source (excluding hydropower) with a significant contribution to the energy mix (2% of total generation capacity). Expansion plans for the period 2006-2015 estimate the addition of some 14.8 GW of new generation capacity by the public sector, with a predominance of combined cycles.
