• FIGHT: Mexico’s renewables industry is devising a series of emergency injunctions to stop a Mexican government directive from suspending performance tests of new wind and solar power plants. Experts believe the measure is an attempt from Mexico’s electric utility (CFE) to favor the use of heavy fuel oil.

• ILLEGAL: “It is another measure to eliminate competition, to favor a single market participant and to harm clean technologies, but using the coronavirus issue as a pretext without any technical, legal or sanitary reason”, said Julio Valle, assistant director at Mexico’s Wind Energy Association (AMDEE).

• SISTERS: Amid the coronavirus emergency, the Mexican government claimed last week that it had concerns over the stability of power supply from new renewables farms. However, Mexico’s CFE said last year it was ready to increase the use of heavy fuel oil it buys from sister company Pemex.

• AGAINST: “The intermittent generation from wind and solar plants affects the reliability of the national electricity system, affecting the sufficiency, quality, and continuity of power supply”, said CENACE, the market power operator that reports to the Mexican Ministry of Energy.
