| Summary: | Few investors will risk putting all of
their money into a single asset based on a 30-year forecast,
yet narrowly-interpreted least-cost energy planning has
often done just that. In Mexico, regulatory policies have

diversified power options that could reduce portfolio risk.
Against this backdrop, this note illustrates the
country's growing recognition of RE as a viable way to
broaden investments in power generation and increase
long-term security. |
