Abstract
Mexico has a major challenge to go from being an emergent economy to an industrialized country. Its electrical installed capacity has been growing during the last 10 years with a 4.5 % annual pace and it is planned to grow for the next 10 years with a 5.2 % annual pace. In 2005 the annual electrical consumption per inhabitant was of 2237 kWh, which is around the world’s average. This represents almost one quarter of the average of the industrial countries consumption. The current document shows the prospective for the Mexican electricity sector for the 2005–2014 time frame. It also shows the technologies that will be used to cover the requirements of electricity by region.
