Under the Independent Power Producer IPP scheme, private producers with plants over 30 MW must sell their power to the CFE through long-term power purchase agreements PPAwhich are awarded through ventoda bidding procedures based on the lowest average generation price.
The national energy commission CRE was put in charge of issuing administrative norms and methodologies to enable the use of renewable energy and to adapt the electricity dispatch provisions to take into account the technical requirements of renewables.
Despite this tremendous potential, wind development in Mexico has been slow, mainly due to the lack of adequate financial incentives and issues with the existing regulatory framework and policies to encourage use of wind energy.
IN FOCUS : Impacts and affects of the wind-energy projects in the Tehuantepec Isthmus
The Mexican Energy Reform bill In Octoberthe Mexican Congress approved the much debated Energy Reform Bill, which includes a renewable energy law to promote and regulate the development of renewables in Mexico: Furthermore, a large part of the technology that is needed to generate wind-energy is manufactured only by Spanish Gamesa and AccionaDanish Vestasand US firms Clipper.
MC for the construction of a megawatt project known as La Venta 3, also in southern Oaxaca state.
This situation has resulted in a marked increase in electricity prices, given the tendency of private firms to take an increasingly central role in the generation and sale of the electricity distributed by CFE to the citizenry, with the consequence that it becomes the private rather than public firms which have the capacity of dictating prices which are then paid in turn by consumers. The law aims to promote the use of renewable energy in Mexico and to take best advantage of international mechanisms such as the CDM.
Among the megaprojects in question, there are explicit references to wind-energy ones.
The rent contracts for land signed by firms and the commitments they have attained with respect to local populations of the zones in which the wind-energy plants are erected form yet another source of denunciation and conflictivity. As an example, according to Bettina Cruz, on 21 March it was shown in the European Parliament that in not one of the wind-energy projects of the Isthmus had there been consultations carried out with affected peoples, nor had any possibility been made so that local peoples could participate in the design of the development plans to which they would be subjected.
In Octoberthe Mexican Congress approved the much debated Energy Reform Bill, which includes a renewable energy law to promote and regulate the development of renewables in Mexico: These wind IPP projects will operate under power purchase agreements PPAs with CFE for 20 years, including a fixed capacity charge, a fixed operation and maintenance charge and a variable energy charge based on fuel prices.
There are also other market barriers that have retarded wind development, including most recently the adverse effect of the global financial crisis. It provides a framework for renewable energy development, which eilica needs to be filled in with detail, including a concrete target and incentives.
Inno new wind generating capacity was connected to the Mexican grid.

National and international organizations have been denouncing the numerous attacks suffered by rights-defenders, opponents to wind-energy projects, and landowners who demand compensation and better contract conditions.
This has favoured the development of conventional energy sources in the past, as well as some large hydro and geothermal projects, all exclusively by CFE. Among the cultural impacts, the above situation creates is the imposing of different vetosa values, being directed at the indigenous peoples of the region. As a result, the government has recently adopted policies to encourage the greater development of renewable energy, within its National Development Plan, its Sectoral Energy Programme, and as part of a new Renewable Energy Law.
Wind-energy projects such as that of Barra de Santa Teresa or Bii Hioxho, located in the aquiferous zone of the Superior Laguna, also gravely threaten the flora and fauna of the mangrove ecosystem found in this area which, beyond providing life to a large number of aquatic and bird species, also represents the vetnosa of the productive and nutritional system of fishing communities who live around the Laguna. This model aims at identifying the total transmission capacity that private generators are willing to reserve so that the CFE can justify construction of new lines for renewable energy.

A final type of environmental impact is the pollution of soils, rivers, lakes, and aquifers due to the leaking of the oils used in the turbines, in addition to the accumulation of effluent originating in the construction yards, the erosion of soil and loss of vegetation, the electromagnetic noise pollution caused by the increased number of functioning wind-energy plants and, lastly, visual pollution of the landscape.
This is done without regard to the desires of local peoples, the impacts and affects these can cause, and what the benefit and use is expected to be from this generated energy: In a recent report carried out by different civil organizations from Oaxaca, the violations of the rights of indigenous peoples implied by the planning and execution of developmental megaprojects have increased over the past four years.
Mexico has set a goal of having renewable power sources generate 25 percent of its electricity by Furthermore, the unjust compensation paid for the rent of such lands is stressed, given that such amounts go much lower than they should: Approximately MW of private wind autogeneration capacity were erected in Oaxaca at three wind farms duringto start commercial operation during The aim of the association is to identify common problems and remore existing barriers to wind energy development in the country.
Some of the private firms that have invested in the wind-energy projects of the Isthmus include the following: Beyond this, acts of criminalization, death threats, and attacks constitute other forms of the most significant political impacts. Both projects are scheduled to be operational by the end of The data indicates that close to two-thirds of the wind-energy parks are controlled by foreign interests.
Si continua navegando, consideramos que acepta su uso. Its geographical uniqueness a narrow stretch of land between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that is practically a plain makes possible the generation of between and MW of energy per year, which is enough to provide for 18 million people.
According to data from the World Bank, in only one year, the wind-energy park La Venta II provoked the death of some animals principally birds and bats after they collided with the blades of the 98 wind-energy turbines located in the park. The divisions in communities and the degradation of the social fabric represent two of the principal social impacts confronted by the populations that are affected. Another agreement for a transmission line of km to Cerro de Oro was also concluded.
However, questions related to the impacts and effects that projects dedicated to the development of such types of energy have on local people and the environment itself are not often taken into consideration. Under the outsiders belief system, there is imposed a notion of decision-making processes based on majorities, which differs from the traditional emphasis on consensus-based decision-making processes.

However, the pace of Mexican wind development has been negatively impacted by the market barriers cited above as well as more recently by the global financial crisis, but the Mexican Wind Energy Association AMDEE remains cautiously optimistic that byover 4, MW of wind farms could be operational in Mexico based on currently known or announced projects. Among the arguments used in favor of the development of this type of energy resources are those which make reference to the need to generate clean energy, in order to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases through replacing the use of the damaging fossil fuels.
In the state of Oaxaca there are currently wind-energy parks operating. For example, the Digna Ochoa Center for Human Rights from the coastal region of Chiapas warns of the lack of information and clarity of the contracts that have been agreed to. However the bid process was declared to have failed by CFE and is expected to be re-bid during According to data from the Mexican Association for Wind Energy AMNDEEof the 28 parks that have been built or planned3 of these belong to the Federal Electricity Commission CFE and so are public, while 5 are the property of national firms, 3 pertaining to dual ownership CFE and privateand 17 to foreign private corporations.
