New Regulations to the Law of Renewable Energy

On September 2, 2009 Regulations to the Law of Usage of Renewable Energy and Financing of Energy Transition were published in the Official Journal of the Federation. The new Regulations establish criteria under which the Department of Energy will promote the utilization of various sources of renewable energy, as well as promote research and development of clean energy technology. In addition, the Regulations call for the integration and operation of a Consultative Council for Renewable Energy and provide for the formalization of collaborative agreements among the Department of Energy and agencies of the Mexican federal government in order to implement the National Strategy and Special Program for Usage of Renewable Energy, as well as for the establishment and updating of the National Renewable Energy Inventory.
